Are ships still required to have stand-alone radios (VHF/UHF/HF) at sea? I know most of them use satellite comms now.

  Yes, every ship is required to keep a watch on VHF channel 16.

    The captain of a boat I crew for says this is rarely enforced. Often requests are not responded to, or if they are, the crew member monitoring the radio doesn't speak English.
