I've been wondering if a navy couldn't be created that was consisted mostly of fastboats loaded with a pilot mounted heavy machine gun and a shoulder-mounted rocket launcher?
If the boats were armor plated around the engines and the cab and all that, and the pilot were outfitted with 'body armor' too, wouldn't a fleet of those be able to hold off an invasion of a small island or beach?
The rocket launcher could take care of choppers and the machine guns could take on other boats. Perhaps an anti-ship missile could be mounted on each side of the fastboat to take on large ships?
Imagine if a single person could man such a fastboat by themselves, you could have SO many of these craft making up armadas. Perhaps they could hijack (just being theoretical of course!) oil tankers and cargo ships for fuel and extra supplies.
