This would include things like laying lots more underwater mines; or even scuttling their own vessel, or other ships like oil tankers, to make the strait largely impassable.

The Strait is some 20 miles wide. The established shipping lanes are each 2 miles wide. Depth varies from 150-650 feet. It would take a lot of blockships. Mines are the better bet. Just the threat of mines sends the insurance companies running.
