Enemies with modern weapons can sink them relatively easily.

Yeah, I'm a moron like the think tanks and foreign militaries who concur, including the U.S. Naval Institute.

Again, as I said, enemies with modern weapons can sink them relatively easily.

From 2010:

Pick any or all to take a read one. If a moron like me could read them, you should have no problem understanding the big words and explanations.

Even non-state actors can buy the equipment:

"In recent years, the Houthis have continued to enhance their anti-ship capabilities. They have conducted numerous attacks on commercial shipping and military vessels, employing a mix of anti-ship cruise missiles (ASCMs), drones, and speedboats. The Houthis have also paraded an anti-ship ballistic missile (ASBM) called Asif, which closely resembles the Iranian Khalij Fars".
