#1 I like the approach used by South Africans to avoid carjacking. In this case you would put a manifold around the ship on the outside just below the deck line. It is connected to a tank of liquefied gas. When the grappling hooks come over the rail, you open the valve and give it a spark.

A hose connected to the "black water" holding tank might be a good deterrent, too. Hose them down with the solid waste holding tank.

#3 A Q-ship or two with some concealed .50-cas and 40mm Bofors would help.
