Seems like a lot of security for "nothing".

Roger. Thanks for the ping.

The boats perform exactly like you would see a fighter do," said Scott Peterson, vice president of Safe Boats International. "They can go into a 50 mph turn and literally do a 180-degree turn in a boat length. They have a low center of gravity and turn very level, almost like they are on rails, so the gunners (manning M-60 machine guns fore and aft) never lose their target.

Thanks for the link. That's my kind of boat! (M-60)

Is it the norm to keep a ship isolated like this for no reason?
