New York Times: The U.S. Navy is caught in a "logistical nightmare" in the region New York Times: 🔹 The continuation of the war with Iran has severely disrupted the supply chain and logistical support of the U.S. Navy in the region, placing significant pressure on its vessels. 🔹 Iranian attacks have effectively transformed the logistical network of the U.S. Navy in the region. U.S. ships require a massive amount of food and fuel to continue operations, to the extent that the fleet stationed in the area needs supplies for over 420,000 meals and approximately 8 million gallons of fuel each week. 🔹 Iranian attacks have also taken one of the key logistical bases of the U.S. Navy in Bahrain out of operational support. At the same time, the threat of missiles and drones has made access to several other ports and regional bases difficult or impossible. 🔹 The inability to utilize nearby bases has forced the U.S. to refuel and supply its ships at sea almost every five or six days.
