Using a Nuclear weapon in an unprovoked way like that would be the end of the North Korea. I don't know if we would use Nukes in response but we would sure as hell would destroy all their military assets with a massive conventional attack.
I am pretty sure that we have accurate Intel on any converted ship and are tracking and monitoring them if they exist.
It would be suicide to attack the US or any other Industrial country like that for any group.
Hell Look at the outrage at the attack of 9/11, even some pacifists I know, at the time were looking for heads to roll. Now just imagine if some one nukes say Seattle or LA or San Francisco.
