I’ve read that most (all?) ports have strict rules about private ships carrying firearms. Such ships are denied entry to the port. It’s one reason why merchant ships do not carry weapons to defend against Somali pirates. They rely on silly things like water cannons instead.

A armed ship could hide their weapons, then lie to the port authorities about it. But I suppose the word would get out, sooner or later.

I believe maritime law forbids that nowadays.
