Default modern day Q-Ships?

Got to looking into this Q-Ship mod, and i got to thinking about a news story on my home page news about pirates in the waters off Somalia.

Would a Q-Ship not serve as a proper means of addressing the pirate threat?

For example, A pleasure yacht much like this one http://www.find-yachts.com/super_yacht_fos6.jpg could be manned with British or American Sailors. Each Port hole on the port and starboard side could be made to fold down revealing a pop up mini-gun like this ...

for heavier needs, perhaps a small elevator could lift up a tow missile battery from the top of the wheel house area or forward deck.

it wouldnt take a great number of encounters with such a small speedy craft armed to the teeth to discourage piracy altogether.

what do you guys think?
