Cautiousness is not necessarily a bad thing. The Japanese thought that the PT boats were nothing but nuisances until the PT boats sank a couple of destroyers.

Somehow I don't think any ship Captains are dismissing the threats entirely. That's a lot easier for us. Not sure how a big ship would counter them other than maintaining adequate distance at all times. They only have to be lucky once if they're packed with explosives.
