I don't know fazman. If the Iranian fired on our fleet as it transited the Straights of Hormuz, there is not much warning. The distance and thus the flight time is very short. Of course there would not be much left of the Iranian military, but they could bloody a carrier group.

How long does it take a missile to close 15 miles at mach .8 or mach 1?

I doubt the carriers will bottle themselves in close

Farman,

The Straights of Hormuz are only 21 miles wide.

Silkworm missile fly from mach .8 to mach 2.5.

The British have shown they can shoot some variant down. They did so in one of the gulf wars.
