I don’t see how we can escort ships without coming under fire. There are going to be hits on US naval ships. The straight is pretty narrow which means that Iran can fire missiles and drones from inland and still be in range. Short of carpet bombing the entire coastline up to like 20 miles inland, I don’t see how this can happen without a serious risk of a US naval vessel being sunk.

I saw a documentary talking about a Destroyers layered defenses but those layers become less effective when threats are closer and that straight is pretty darn narrow. Maybe they will be fine but wow is it a risk.
