That’s fine; US warships have quite enough bombs and missiles and torpedoes to address them all.

Yes, but one should still use them, right? Do you think our withdrawal from Vietnam, Lebanon, Somalia was precipitated by the lack of weapons?
Tactically, it is not a trivial problem to confront 300 speed boats loaded with explosive and attacking our carrier close to their shore. I am afraid that we may lose a carrier under such circumstances quite soon, and the consequences will be enourmous.

There were enconters back in the eighties when Iranian speedboats took a run at some US ships. They didn't get too close before being fired upon. But of course then we had an American president, too.
