More accurate is Couple of hours before being sunk. Iran probably has thousands of ASM of various types they even converted old AD missiles into anti ship ones, drones excluded.I think people are overestimating irans capabilities of holding the strait of hormuz millitarily. If the US really wanted they can run the Strait with a SAG of 6-8 destroyers covered by aircraft and be relatively safe doing so. Even if iran was to lets say total current launch rate of 30 anti ship ballistic missiles and 30 cruise missiles and 100 drones 6-8 arleigh burkes with linked aegis and fighter cover have a relatively good chance getting in unscathed with. Possible MEU and LHD in tow. The problem is sustained fire rate. They cant stay around the strait for more than a couple days before they get overwhelmed and thus they inherently cant keep the strait open for merchant shipping if thats the case. And after they are in the persian gulf is also a very hostile environment with usvs and missiles constantly about.
The AN/TPY-2 radar system costs approximately $485m according to a CSIS review of defence department budget documents. The air-defence systems are used for the long-range interception of ballistic missiles.Iranian strikes on military bases used by the US in the Middle East caused about $800m (£600m) in damage in the first two weeks of the war, a new analysis shows.
Much of the damage was caused in initial retaliatory strikes by Iran in the week after the US and Israel launched the war, according to a report by the Center for Strategic & International Studies (CSIS) and an analysis by the BBC.
The full extent of the damage caused by Iranian strikes on US assets in the region is not clear.
But the $800m in estimated damages to US military infrastructure - a figure that's higher than has been previously reported - offers a picture of the steep costs to the US as the conflict drags on.

The layers of respect and power amalgamated by the US over the decades removed within a few minutes by Trump in his press conference with Japan. We saw the look in her face of shock.This is a great strategy.
Instead of Trump saying to Japan “send me troops to help open the Strait”
Japan says “Why? We don’t need to”
Thats probably true. The same article says that the damages are underreported.The AN/TPY-2 radar system costs approximately $485m according to a CSIS review of defence department budget documents. The air-defence systems are used for the long-range interception of ballistic missiles.
Strikes by Iran caused an additional $310m in estimated damages to buildings, facilities and other infrastructure on US bases and military bases used by American forces in the region.

Sorry but the 800m USD price tag is ridiculously underrated. The actual damage is in the billions. It's pretty much a widely accepted fact.
@Emirzad please let us know if and which iranian missiles can hit the UK's (and Germany also, since they welcome it too)air bases hosting US bombers like B-1s.
You underestimate the USNs air defence capabilities. They make thaad and patriot look like a joke. These ships are designed to fight against plarf and plan in a scenario like taiwan strait, hormuz is nothing in comparisonMore accurate is Couple of hours before being sunk. Iran probably has thousands of ASM of various types they even converted old AD missiles into anti ship ones, drones excluded.
Your scenario is more suitable for PC game.
