It seems to be not so typical that the whole armada then would pass through the Suez in one rush. The article says that.
I personally, if time is no critical factor, would even refuse to pass high value assets like carriers and cruisers through a narrow waterstreet at all, even at peacetimes. If mtime allows, let them sail around Africa - much reduced vulnerability that way. But this only on a sidenote.

Your reply was so terribly fact-oriented.
