I was refering to the suggestion from the resident chimp that :-

"I have no idea what the US capability is today of dropping nuclear depth charges, but mine clearance could be carried out within <1 hour by dropping 2+ nuclear depth charges in the Straight. Any Iranian submarines, divers, fast patrol boats & surface vessels would either be destroyed (if underwater) or totally disabled & probably sunk if on the surface"

I'm sure as and ASW warrior you can still remember the frankly amazingly low kill radius of the bucket.
