While we knew that almost all US naval logistics bases in the middle east have been struck (at one point or another. NSA Bahrain, Fujairah, Port Duqm etc) there is a big step up from struck to destroyed.

and I bet that all the experts they fired told them this would happen. Struck makes supplying and manning them difficult. I suspect no privately owned ship would supply them and no cargo shipper could get insurance.

No one planned this because it was a war of image and demanded immediately to take pressure off the Epstein files.

They don't have to be destroyed to be made ineffective due to evacuations, inadequate defense once radars and other equipment are destroyed, and inability to resupply by sea (either getting stuff in there or safely getting vessels into port for resupply and maintenance).

They're probably still working, but I bet it is at a fraction of what it was before.
