More to the popint, the strategic lesson was learned concerning blocking the Suez from US warship passage.
Right. What worries me is Bad Guys are now saying, “All we have to do is get ahold of one big container ship...”
That lesson was learned back in 1967. The Suez Canal was blocked by mines, destroyed bridges, and two armies facing each other from 1967 to 1975. The U.S. and everyone else adapted. The cost was an extra 15 days per ship to get from the Indian Ocean to the Med. The Suez Canal is not a necessity, it is nice to have, makes life easier for maritime trade, makes naval movement easier, but when push comes to shove we can live without it. The DoD has long thought about how to mitigate its closure.
