Carlo Masala, Christian Mölling og Torben Schütz i en indsigtsfuld analyse af mulighederne for at Tyskland kan stille sig i spidsen for en europæisk flådeoperation i Hormuz:
We estimate that the following minimum forces are required for such an operation:
• five frigates or destroyers with armed helicopters, including one command capable ship,
• Supplemented by two corvettes,
• three MPRA,
• one to two auxiliaries/tankers,
• Vessel Protection Teams (VPT),
• In-area Force Headquarters.
Hvis styrken kun skal observere og ikke udøve decideret beskyttelse, mener de at man kan spare de to korvetter, de bevæbnede beskyttelseshold og hovedkvarteret.
