I went through the Suez on the Enterprise back in '86. Threading the needle is no exaggeration and with the momentum of a ship that big, the tiniest mistake is tough to overcome.
Slow cruise by the anti aircraft batteries interspersed among Egyptian ruins was amazing if not a little nerve racking considering our mission at the time. We had at least one Cruiser and Destroyer that made the "detour" behind us as I recall. Fun afternoon on the flight deck..
