How would the US navy counter Iranian swarms of speed boats? Given the recent Iranian provocation of the US Navy with speed boats, what is the likley US navy response if they got too close?

NES Game which one is it? you're a speed boat with guns, and you go through canals and take down rival boats..? ..I also remember a mini-game where you had to protect people floating in the water from boats picking them up and speeding away, at the end of levels your boat would extend a little chopper like thing and you would fly away which I remember thinking was so dumb because why couldn't you fly around all the time? lol, its a solid game though, cookie for whoever names it! not Bayou Billy or Ultimate Stuntman...
