Yes. I think the biggest issues though are:
- We likely don't have the assets to move the amount traffic that needs to get through
- We probably can't protect them perfectly (we don't have maritime supremacy) so ships will still take damage and that will stop the convoys pretty quickly
I suspect the escort ships would be fine though. They can defend themselves.
So if we did start them, they wouldn't continue for long until the economic pain was pretty massive and the cost of loosing ships was worth it.

- jmward01 7mo agoI know nothing of the rise of the underwater drone but I highly suspect they are loud and slow and no match for ships designed to look for modern submarines.
- 1-more 7mo agoNo match for detection, but do countermeasures exist? Can torpedos target them? Do the ships in question carry such torpedos, or any kind of torpedo?
