What's funny is that an absurdly simple way to protect merchant shipping in the Gulf is already available. It wouldn't even require arming Tankers and Freighters. Simply bring back the Convoy System. Every major world power and their dog has SOME kind of naval presense in that region. It wouldn't be hard to just organize the container ships into groups and have them escorted by a single DDG or even a Frigate.
