Trump's Navy Problem in the Gulf of Hormuz. [View all]

He sunk the big target Iranian naval vessels....Yay!!!! Except Iran has marine drones and attack small craft that can easily mount attacks on mega-oil carriers. US Big Fleet presence cannot possibly engage in tight channel locations without creating more chaos.

What if Trump, Putin, and Iran are calling the shots?

Stupid minds think alike.
