I knew it's not the deepest body around, but it is big enough to keep a carrier in and maneuver.
I always wondered about that. I never thought they had enough room for a battle group to do their normal routine during battle operations against another navy in an area that small. I know Iran don't have a huge regular navy, but still figured that had enough anti shipping missle's to inflict heavy damage if they wanted to.
Again just shows how little I know about the Navy
