This type of work is the bread and butter of Seals they could blow the channel blocking span to clunks in less than a day then their brother’s the Seebees will use barge mounted heavy lift cranes to lift the chunks out of the channel just dropping them off channel for later salvage a few days at most if given the orders to not do the investigation and salvage ops on the cargo ship nor an environmental impact statement. Military can have that channel open in days not months.
