Are all these Carriers *IN* the Gulf?

Why does this seem like a crazy idea to me?

As i understand it, if the Strait of H has an incident, the Gulf could be rendered unreachable, and anything in there, trapped.

Is this true?

The Straits are narrow, but not that narrow. We could fight our way through. We’ve had several battle groups in the Gulf before. It’s pretty well organized.
