I have seen some of these ships on the lake. You guys use them like Coast Guard Cutters on occasion. They'd still be a major force on the lakes armed with heavy MGs and light autocannon.
I could see someone taking the two "non-demilled" 20mm autocannon off the USS Little Rock and the 40mm Cannons off the USS The Sullivans (at the Buffalo Naval Museum) and putting them on a larger fishing boat.
