The Royal Navy still deems its choke points as strategically vital. Indeed, the importance of choke points was first recognised by British Admiral John Fisher. [1] The English Channel, a choke point south of England and north of France. These are major British choke points today: The English Channel; GIUK gap (between Greenland, Iceland, and UK)

Choke point, a constriction in a conduit or transport system, e.g. a narrowing of a road Choke valve , a valve used to control the fuel-air mixture in internal combustion engines Chokecherry , a suckering shrub or small tree, a species of bird cherry
Choke point, or bottleneck, in miiltary strategy, a feature that reduces passability of terrain; Population bottleneck, an evolutionary event that drastically reduces a population; Traffic bottleneck, a local disruption in a transportation network
Bottleneck caused by construction. A traffic bottleneck is a localized disruption of vehicular traffic on a street, road, or highway. As opposed to a traffic jam, a bottleneck is a result of a specific physical condition, often the design of the road, badly timed traffic lights, or sharp curves.
The GIUK gap (sometimes written G-I-UK) is an area in the northern Atlantic Ocean that forms a naval choke point. Its name is an acronym for Greenland, Iceland, and the United Kingdom, the gap being the two stretches of open ocean among these three landmasses. It separates the Norwegian Sea and the North Sea from the open Atlantic Ocean. The ...
A common method of expressing the amount of constriction is by "points". A "point" is equivalent to 0.025 mm (0.001 in) of constriction of the inner diameter of a choke. Hence, 40 points of constriction would correspond to a constriction of 0.040 inch (≈ 1 mm) in the inner diameter of a choke, corresponding to "Extra Full".
The obstacles that originate from the human habitat can be converted by troops into constructed obstacles by either performing additional construction, or executing demolitions to obstruct movement over the transport network, to create a choke point, or to deny traversing of an area to the enemy. The natural obstacles can be used defensively by ...
