I didn’t miss the point at all. Yes, you did.

Ukraine’s Navy and ability to confront (and sink) the Russian Black Sea Fleet was likewise ridiculed- until they sank the Russian Black Sea Fleet, or at least the major portion of it

I don't think anyone ridiculed Ukraine at all in this regard. Why would they? The Black Sea is what amounts to a really big lake. Hard to move big ships around.

And Ukraine didn’t need a surface or submarine force to do it.

Just some shore based missiles and a few naval drones that were little more than surfboards with bombs strapped on them.

The calculus changes significantly when 30,000 dollars worth of innovation and spare parts proves itself capable of destroying a billion dollar ship.

Why isn't the US Navy on the bottom of the Gulf? Did the Iranians not try?
