What happens
In response to their inability to defend the Panama Canal, and risking losing the vital military communications artery to the enemy, the nation has instead chosen to blown the canal to ensure its use is denied to them. Through a combination of blockships, demolitions, and mining, the destruction is quite complete, and will likely take months of extensive industrial effort to repair.
