United States Naval forces conducting straits transits face a host of unique force protection challenges. Traffic density is often high, with many ferries, fishing and pleasure boats, and large cargo ships maneuvering in a small area.
Although the Rules of Engagement will generally designate query and warning ranges, international law and freedom of navigation allow vessels to operate in very close proximity to warships.
Small vessels are often difficult to regulate, and many lack basic equipment such as the bridge-to-bridge radios.
With a host of stationary and seemingly randomly moving boats, determining a hostile action in a timely manner is difficult at best.
These conditions make the identification of and defense against hostile small craft extremely difficult. Even after a craft is designated hostile, the timeline for mounting an effective defense is often noticeably short.
The proliferation of longer-range mobile guns, including the possible emergence of lasers, electronic warfare or boat-launched drone attacks, all make the prospect of facing swarms of armed, fast-moving small boats even more dangerous for surface ships.
Furthermore, some small manned boats carry and fire portable land weapons such as RPGs, Anti-Tank Guided Missiles, or various medium-caliber portable guns aimed at ship structures.
One small boat can pose a threat to a destroyer, however it can be neutralized even with the problems stated above. But the problem is bigger. There could be a lot of boats approaching at the same time for a swarm attack.
When compared with the US, Iran has the limited military capability. Iran is trying to fill this gap with swarm tactics. Instead of matching the U.S. military weapon-for-weapon, Iran deploys large numbers of relatively unsophisticated systems at sea. Iran’s Revolutionary Guard has long worked on swarming tactics for small boats against large naval vessels.
They are extremely difficult to defend for many reasons, one of them simply being numbers and redundancy; if there are so many spread out, yet fast-approaching small boats, it could be difficult for deck-mounted ship guns or overhead assets such as drones or helicopters to destroy enough approaching targets at one time.
The saturation of sensors and weapons, radar tracking problems, limited time for kill assessment, automatic sensor weapon allocation problems make it almost impossible to counter all the targets.

Something you forgot:
Iranian fast ships have missiles that can fires 50 km away while they are sailing to the attack!
Also the have trophy system too!!!
Also how about ground to sea missilery?
