Doesn’t really matter. If the US Coast Guard really wants to board you, there are no warships coming to your defense.
The USCG hunts down drug runners in intentional waters all the time. They have snipers in helicopters who can take out the engines on speedboats. Once they are disabled, an armed boarding party from a ship collects the crew.
For larger ships, the US doesn’t need a messy show of force. We can politely ask a friendly nation to seize the ship and detain the crew in their waters. It’s all nice and legal.
