Looking like a fishing boat is effective deterrance to a "search and destroy" drone. Only by boarding pitate ships can we be sure they are pirate ships.

One rule of thumb we can apply is that if the boat has an engine capable of speeds exceeding 15 knots, and there are arms aboard, we put a bullet through the engine and give them some paddles to get home with.

Agree ... and a few bullet holes in the hull a inch or two below the waterline. That'll keep'em busy ...
