***When it got to b e obvious that the German subs were attacking our Atlantic commercial fleet we started building knock-down boxes on the decks of freighters. The boxes hid a Navy 5” gun. When a sub showed itself the box sides came down and a 5” round quickly headed for the sub’s sail. Took the fun out of dornitz’s plans. I don’t see why a similar setup wouldn’t work in the Persian gulf, and for that matter, the East Coast of Afrika. Yeah, you have to add a couple crewmen that can shoot but Trump can set it up?

Don’t need it! Just dig a canal through UAE and Oman and be done with it.With a canal through those two countries ships don’t need to travel through the straits of Hormuz ever again.
