Dover Patrol

The Dover Patrol was a British naval fleet during World War I, tasked with securing the English Channel and supporting the Navy’s operations. It protected vital shipping routes, prevented German ships and submarines from entering the Atlantic, and helped escort Allied vessels. The patrol included various ships such as cruisers, destroyers, and patrol boats, working together to thwart enemy attacks, rescue stranded sailors, and maintain control of the narrow waters between England and France. Its efforts were crucial in ensuring safe passage for troops and supplies, contributing significantly to the Allied war effort in the North Sea and Channel areas.
