That's about a thousand miles of coastline, btw. I don't see a lot of militarily viable alternatives, as the US doesn't have nearly enough vessels to run picket duty and escort type roles. We don't have enough smaller vessels capable of swatting drones, uncrewed surface vessels, etc.

The numbers I'm hearing is that a US convoy system would reduce traffic from about 135 Hormuz transits a day to a tenth that.

You can see why he's so desperate to rope in other country's navies.
