As a matter of fact, the very existence of civilian vessels to do the extraction at Dunkirk is why the analogy fails. There are no civilian resources available to help evacuate. It would be an entirely military operation using entirely military capabilities.

PLUS Dunkirk was an evacuation within a controlled, albeit collapsing, perimeter. For this analogy to hold, Dunkirk would have had to have been extracting thousands of civilian personnel trapped behind Nazi lines. And, yeah, no, that wouldn't have been feasible.
