I agree. It's interesting too, because you could put a lot of very challenging threats against US forces in a contemporary setting.
Regarding transiting Bosporus; it can't be done. That's part of why in the Cold War days, Turkey was considered an important strategic allie. If you could station forces there to defend the Bosporus, you could keep the Soviet Black Sea fleet bottled up and we could have free reign in the Med. In fact, it was expected that early in the war, the Soviets would make a big push there specifically to prevent that from happening.
