Can the U.S. Navy be useful in a 1917 Allied attack on Turkey?
Basically, I am curious about this considering that the U.S. Navy is largely the only thing that the U.S. would be able to quickly provide in WWI; after all, U.S. troops would need to be trained before they can be sent to Europe.
Thus, I was thinking of a joint Franco-British-Russian attack on Turkey in 1917 (in place of the Kerensky Offensive) together with the help of the U.S. Navy. Basically, the goal of this would be to weaken the Turkish military and to unblock the Straits so that Russia could once again import and export various goods through them.
Anyway, how would such an offensive go and how much would the U.S. Navy be able to help the Entente/Allies in such an offensive?
