A ship jamming the Suez Canal prevents the repositioning of the Carrier Group in the Mediterranean to the Arabian Sea, Indian Ocean, or South China Sea.
Pacific Fleet needs back up:
Option A: Send Med Fleet all the way around Africa (possible ships from East Caost CONUS as wel,l)
Option B: Send all West Coast ships left (interrupting Selected Restricted Availability schedules) and send East Coast ships (think Norfolk, VA and Mayport, FL through Panama Canal
Both are majorly time consuming, heavy fuel use for the small boys, and no way to conceal those movements for long

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — A British royal navy vessel seized 450 kilograms (990 pounds) of methamphetamine in the northern Arabian Sea in the largest-ever bust by a joint maritime operation in the region, officials said Wednesday.
The HMS Montrose seized the drugs hidden aboard a stateless dhow, a traditional cargo ship that plies the Persian Gulf and surrounding waters, the joint task force said in a statement. The seizure took place last Wednesday.
The task force said it was unable to say where the drugs came from, who manufactured them or their ultimate destination.
However, Iran over the last decade has seen an explosion in the use of methamphetamine, known locally as “shisheh” or “glass” in Farsi. That’s bled into neighboring Iraq as well.
While drug lab busts have dropped in recent years in Iran, there appears to be an uptick in meth drug labs in Afghanistan, from where it is smuggled through Pakistan, the United Nations said in its 2020 World Drug Report. Both Pakistan and Iran sit on the northern Arabian Sea.
