Answer: 3) Britain was an island nation dependent on trading to keep its economy strong.

Due to its location, Britain has always benefited from the sea trade. A 95 percentage of its trade is carried by the sea. The maritime industry has been of great value to the UK citizens. This industry depends on the order at the sea and deserves protection againts the dangerous environment in which it works.
