I was on the Midway when we did Earnest Will Operations in 1987-88. Every American flagged ship got an armed escort with air cover, and a lot of allied cargo ships got reflagged American. It kept the Iranians at bay. They couldn’t launch an aircraft out of Bandar Abbas without it being met by an F-14, then later an F/A-18. I don’t know if the Brits have the depth to continue that type operation, or if they have as part of their mission “keeping the sea lanes open”.
Good for them!
