I was talking about when I was there and me or you aren't young. There most definitely was mines there back then. Wasn't my imagination. To me that area was always known as the Kuwaiti mine fields. Now shall we talk about Magnetic Variation and the operation of the degaussing system. LOLThe Straits are narrow...........sink a Super Tanker there and it will choke it for a bit..........When you go through there you can see both coasts..............And that's what... Send in our troops?
We have been supplying them with intelligence , refueling them in the air, using drones, advisors on the ground.. black ops, three destroyers around at all times .
.
yeah----that too. A concerted world effort to instill in both sides
----DA SHIITES AND DA SUNNIS ----a level of concern for the
cholera epidemic in Yemen
A nuke?
It's fine if we let them battle it out for a long time more.
After you go through the straights you get to enter the Kuwaiti mine fields.........yippie............
Back then........Iran had silk worms on the coast............lined up..........but they'd never do it to us because we would destroy them. They chose mine warfare and small boat attacks..........our only real damage was from the mines...........like the Tripoli......
I've been there back in the day.
The sea lanes are two miles wide in each direction with a two mile buffer between them. Sinking an oil tanker would not close the Straits of hormuz in any way, shape, or form.
Why would there be Kuwaiti mines? My daughter is currently IN Kuwait along with several thousands of US troops.
BTW. Supertankers are very large.........and one sunk in the middle could cause problems. I've seen them with my own eyes and I'm sure you have as well.
I'm sorry, but you are quite incorrect. Sinking an oil tanker in 150 feet of water will have no effect whatsoever on shipping.
