Really? Multiple carrier groups, plus ground contingents from the Army and Marines, plus the Air Force are unable to "control" Iraq or Afghanistan...

  I am no military genius, but Iraq and Afghanistan sound larger, more complex, and not as commandable by sea as a typical canal.

    Perhaps you are unaware of the events of 1956 when the combined forces of Britain and France failed to hold the Suez Canal?

      Perhaps you're unaware of the power that a US Navy carrier group has in 2017 :)

        It's all relative, no?
