IMHO, a lot of the roles of these clowns can be taken up by Grav MBTs.	
A MDC/5 or DFFG/5 on a small, fast, well armored hull can sink any 
freighter out there, and scrap most any warship small enough to avoid 
being 'plinked' from orbit.  Brown water craft will likely abound, but 
the blue water stuff is primarily there for maintaining or cutting 
SLOCs (Sea Lines Of Communication) which won't be likely to have the 
exaggerated prominence that they do, for instance, in the case of the 
United Kingdom or the United States (one being an island and hence 
forced to have a navy or be restricted to invading Scotland yet again 
and the other having oceans between itself and any enemies, unless of 
course Canada is taken over by Nazis)
