The US warships deploy the Standard Missile family, specifically the SM-2 and the multi-role SM-6, which are launched from Mark 41 Vertical Launching Systems (VLS), and these systems cannot be reloaded at sea, only in a port (or a still water harbor).

 

This means that if US warship uses up its missile defenses, it will have to steam back to DG to rearm, and this will leave a gap, that has to filled by another warship, in the mean time.

 

This instantly doubles the fuel bill, and everything else bill, and then there is the question of SM-2 supplies, as the stockpile at Bahrain was destroyed.

 

Wars cannot be won militarily, only economically, just as battles cannot be won by fighting, only by logistics.

 

The side who has the best logistics ALWAYS wins the battle, just look at Afghanistan, Iraq, now Iranโ€ฆ.

The civilian head of the Navy has confirmed that a key U.S. Navy base in the Middle East was damaged in recent fighting in the Iran war, according to a new report.

 

"They blew the hell out of bahrain," acting Navy Secretary Hung Cao told The Epoch Times on Sept. 9, referring to Naval Support Activity bahrain, which is home to the U.S. Naval Forces Central Command and the U.S. Fifth Fleet.

Nearly six months after the U.S. Navy evacuated 1,300 family members from bahrain at the start of the Iran war, officials are saying the evacuees cannot return for the foreseeable future and should find new homes elsewhere.

 

The evacuation has left families in limbo and forced military officials to improvise solutions for support programs that were never designed to sustain a displacement lasting this long.

 

Some evacuees say they have spent tens of thousands of dollars out of pocket for basic living expenses. Others are sleeping on the floors of temporary housing, while their cars and furniture are stranded in bahrain or aboard ships unable to leave the region.

The US Airbase in Jordan has also been hit really hard.

 

The Iranians destroyed a key logistics hanger, that serviced the F35 and F15E, and those aircraft can no longer be serviced there, or bombed up, and will have to be withdrawn.

 

they took out the hanger that kept the laser designator pods, and destroyed them all. Now they can't drop bombs till they are replaced.

There are enormous quantities, but it requires superheated stem injection to bring it to the surface, and then it has to be mixed with "distillate", or naptha, to flow it through the pipes.

 

My understanding is that the price of distallate went up, and the oil was no longer profitable, so they abandoned the fields and let the plants go to ruin.
