It looks like a pretty defenseless warship. Looks more like a freighter than a fighter.

She’ll have at least minimal teeth:

Electronic warfare
& decoys: AN/SLQ-25 Nixie towed torpedo decoy
Nulka missile decoy

ITT Exelis ES-3701 ESM system [2]

Armament: 4 x Rafael Typhoon 25 mm remote weapons systems 6 x 12.7 mm machine guns

And I’d be surprised if their choppers won’t have torpedo capability.

The interview was for civilian consumption. Mustn’t speak of weapons on a warship. Somebody’s panties might get bunched.
