Two questions.
1. Why can't shipping go around?
2. If we are to commit ships to opening the Strait how well equipped are they at defending against mines and mass drone attacks?
It's not like the old days where a few Destroyers and Mine Sweepers can keep a shipping lane open. We are fighting an enemy that is going to use asymmetric warfare against us. Carriers with aircraft isn't going to do a lot against mass repeated drone attacks.
