Navy fires Laser Gun for the first time

I come from the ground forces side of things but could you use something like a dragon to take out the small pirate boats or is the sea too rough for any sort of accuracy?

The Navy can shoot down a satellite traveling at 17,000 mph, 300 miles straight up from the rolling and pitching decks of a Destroyer; accuracy isn't a problem, range is. If a target is within range of a man-portable Dragon, so are you. Ideally, you want to engage a target while you are still out of range of his weapons.
