easier said than done!
Well at least they finnally figured out that three and a half inch fire hoses against RPG’S and ak 47’s is a somewhat hopeless prospect
Why not employ a net of sensors around the hull to detect people attempting to board?
What about an electric fence around the deck to prevent boarding?
Robotic boats, to protect the ship?
Robotic mine field to surround the ship?
Every boat/ship makes noise, what about sensors to detect, triangulate, and track these noises? You would want both air and water sound detectors.
What about motion detectors using cameras? You would have to filter out the noise of the motion of the ship itself, motion of the waves, and weather.

Join the Navy. You can ride ships very much like that there…
Yeah I won’t be messing with this guy:
