US ships traveled to Europe in convoys primarily for protection against German U-boat attacks during World War I and World War II. By traveling in groups, ships could defend themselves more effectively and reduce the risk of being targeted by submarines. The convoy system also facilitated safer transport of troops and supplies, ensuring that vital resources reached the front lines. This strategic approach significantly improved the survival rate of merchant vessels crossing the Atlantic.
