La rezulto de la batalo estis strategia venko de la Aliancanoj — kaj la Germana blokado malsukcesis — sed je granda kosto: 3,500 komercaj ŝipoj kaj 175 [[militŝipo]]j estis sinkitaj kontraŭ perdo de 783 U-boataj [[submarŝipo]]j.

The name "Battle of the Atlantic" was coined by Winston Churchill in February 1941.<ref>Keegan, John, "Churchill Strategy", ''Churchill''. Edited by William Roger Louis. Oxford University Press, 1996. p. 341.</ref> It has been called the "longest, largest, and most complex" naval battle in history.<ref>David Syrett, ''The defeat of the German U-boats: The Battle of the Atlantic'' (1994).</ref> The campaign started immediately after the European war began, during the so-called "[[Phoney War]]", and lasted six years, until the [[German Instrument of Surrender|German Surrender]] in May 1945. It involved thousands of ships in more than 100 convoy battles and perhaps 1,000 single-ship encounters, in a theatre covering thousands of square miles of ocean. The situation changed constantly, with one side or the other gaining advantage, as participating countries surrendered, joined, and even changed sides in the war, and as new weapons, tactics, counter-measures, and equipment were developed by both sides. The Allies gradually gained the upper hand, overcoming German surface raiders by the end of 1942 and defeating the U-boats by mid-1943, though losses due to U-boats continued until war's end.
