#1 Great for pirates and suicide boats. Haven't heard much about piracy lately, btw.

#2 Pirates, schmirates. These lasers are against supersonic anti-ship missiles.

#3 Ships with frickin' laser beams in the heads? A bar of soap or hand-sanitizer dispenser seems a little more apropos.

#5 Need to find a way to electrify the outer hull without causing a problem to the ship's crew. I think that would put a shocking end to piracy with the first or second attempt.
