It can compress air more and more efficiently than a one-stage compressor.

Compare the CFM specs at equal pressures for 1 and 2 stage models.  The
capacity of a one stage model drops off real fast as the pressure goes up.

A compressor is sort of the opposite of a steam engine, and marine
steam engines were usually three-stage.
