The USS Boxer is an amphib assault ship (like a mini aircraft carrier) that can support harriers, choppers, osphreys, LCAC landing craft, and nearly 2000 marines.
It is deployed nearby.

Do the assault ships have drones that can deploy from their decks? If so, why not simply use drones for surveillance, and if necessary, drop a rocket or two.

Harriers in the air will deter 99% of these attacks.

(If you aren't part of the solution, there is good money to be made prolonging the problem.)
