Given how expensive they are they were presumably supposed to do more than primarily stay out of range. There are less expensive ways of doing that.

They block Iranian ports so Iran can no longer export oil, that is doing a lot.

  • And Iran has blocked the strait too. It's at best a stalemate.

    • But this stalemate benefits US corporations by raising the price for oil, so its not really hurting the attacker. In order to hurt a plutocracy like USA you need to hurt the American stock market but American stocks are doing great.
