So there might be a mine warfare situation in DAYS not weeks or months and the US tried and true mine sweepers are on the wrong side of the globe right now.

The US Navy is not without a solution.

Enter the littoral combat ship, the biggest boondoggle of weapons program run by the Navy in recent memory.

An untested ship that is best known for having a haul that spontaneously cracks apart.

The Inside Story of How the Navy Spent Billions on the “Little Crappy Ship”

Littoral combat ships were supposed to launch the Navy into the future. Instead they broke down across the globe and many of their weapons never worked. Now the Navy is getting rid of them. One is less than five years old.

Back on the home front... you know it's clear that Iran could be serious about escalating the situation with oil shipping should tankers attempt to run the blockade.

The typical military play is Iran sending mines. The US would counter with mine sweepers, a strategy that worked well in WWII.

Oh what's that? The US slated the middle east minesweepers for decomissioning AND they just made it back to a US port this week to get taken out of service?
