    Battle of the Atlantic, pt II, coming up next! Flood the black sea with cheap corvette class ships! Depth charges for breakfast!

    No seriously, I’d hate to be in the risk assessment side here. Do you try to provoke an attack by going anyway? So that you have an excuse to respond in full force?

      Turkey won’t allow military ships to pass the Bosporus in any direction while there’s a war on. This prevents Russia from reinforcing their Black Sea fleet but also prevents Western navies from entering.

        Sounds like what you’re saying is Ukraine needs more droneboats to clear Russia off the Black Sea.

        So the whole merchant fleet needs to fly Turkish flags and get a Turkish navy escort then.
