That, and in the early years, there was limited air cover in those areas, leaving a 'gap' in the protection; hence the name. It is still a choke-point in access to the Atlantic (one that NATO exploited to considerable success in the Cold War), but it is much wider than the Channel, unmined away from the coast, and most importantly, deep.
