In the end: Boat duels turned out to be "Macross Missile Massacre" events, and not all that interesting.

If I can unearth it, I can e-mail the piece I wrote on the topic to those who are interested.
Sounds like a good reason to have a few jump jets on the boat as a defensive measure. Torpedoes don't hit things not in the water very well.
