The problem with fighting back with small arms or rockets, is they can

stand off a ways and sink you with theirs a lot easier than you can hit

them in their tiny boats... or run a cable and disable you, then hit you

with the rockets...That is what I heard anyway, as a reason why the

bigger ships just can't fight them off with small arms....

I've heard the same, Scott. I always thought the better plan would be to pick up hired privateers in Int'l waters, who would be equipped with a high speed inflatable and various weaponry- That could easily be dispatched if a small boat was sited and approaching within 3 mi. (give or take)...
