If you all sail through at the same time, they can't get all of you

Everyone attempts to rush the strait, getting bottlenecked and congested and picked off like flies

haven't seen anybody mention this but if a shitload of ships get wrecked in the strait of hormuz, well, they're no mines but all that wreckage doesn't exactly improve how navigable it will be

You'd need way way way more ships

at the narrowest point the strait is 20 miles wide

[-] LeeeroooyJeeenkiiins@hexbear.net 2 points 1 month ago

yeah but even that whole width isn't necessarily usable as it is, I read something like the shipping lanes are like 2 miles wide in either direction? seems like that'd be for a reason idk

Lotsa people don't know this... But if you pretend a chokepoint isn't a chokepoint then no chokepoint is there. Simple. No problems. Also - woke bad.
