The US being a huge expeditionary power with a lot of carriers has altered it's strategy to strike and hit the opposition mine-layers in their harbors and at sea. Can we?

We will say we will fight with whatever we have, rather than getting what we need.

How the US Navy Clears Sea Mines in the Strait of Hormuz
Rising tensions with Iran have once again put the Strait of Hormuz at the center of global attention. This narrow waterway, only about 21 miles wide at its narrowest point, carries nearly 20% of the world’s oil supply every day.
One of the biggest threats in this region isn’t missiles or warships — it’s naval mines.

In this video we explore how the United States Navy detects and destroys sea mines, including the specialized ships, helicopters, and underwater drones used in mine countermeasure operations. From the Avenger-class mine countermeasures ship to underwater robots like the AN/SLQ-48 Mine Neutralization Vehicle, modern mine warfare is far more complex than most people realize.

We’ll also look at how mines are deployed, why they remain one of the most dangerous naval weapons in the world, and how the U.S. military protects shipping lanes in one of the most strategic waterways on the planet.
How do warships actually destroy sea mines?
How are shipping lanes reopened after a mine attack?
And what could happen if the Strait of Hormuz were suddenly mined during the Iran conflict?
