During a major naval blockade, specialized ships attempted to bypass patrols to maintain trade. These ships faced significant risks, with approximately 1,500 being captured or destroyed over the course of the conflict. However, some ships did successfully complete their voyages. Based on this information, what is the most accurate assessment of this trade-maintaining strategy?
Economic Decision-Making for a Blockade-Runner
Economic Analysis of Blockade-Running
A naval power established a blockade to disrupt the trade of its adversary. The adversary responded by using specialized, high-speed ships to try and bypass the patrols. Although approximately 1,500 of these specialized ships were captured or destroyed, this response is considered to have been a highly successful strategy that completely negated the economic effects of the blockade.

Match each aspect of operating a specialized trade vessel during a naval blockade with its most direct economic consequence.
A specialized, high-speed vessel is tasked with bypassing a naval blockade to conduct trade. Arrange the following stages of a single, successful round-trip voyage in the correct chronological order.
Economic Incentives in a Blockaded Market
A merchant during a widespread naval blockade is deciding whether to finance a specialized, high-speed vessel for a single trip to trade goods. The vessel has a high chance of being captured or destroyed, resulting in a total loss of the investment. However, a successful trip would yield profits many times the initial cost. Which of the following best describes the central economic calculation the merchant must make?
