Prior to the famous Dolittle Raid on Japan, U.S. intelligence had failed to discover that Japan had stationed hundreds of fishing boats with radios in a picket line about six hundred to eight hundred miles off of the coast and they ran straight into it which is why the raid had to be launched a day early. The Japanese fishing fleet often doubled as a coast guard sentry fleet. I'd take them out.
