Hmmmmm. I was thinking perhaps a SEAL Team equipped with re-breathers could place timed explosive charges on the hulls of the ships as they pass slowly through the Suez.
The explosives detonate several hours after the ships depart the Suez and sink.......I'm just sayin’.

You’re right, that is a far better arrangement, appearing as an accidental explosion and probably about the same cost, a few million I would think. The missiles would cost quite a bit, however for the SEALS, the operation does rack up some costs. But the team has such a nice low geo-political profile.
