Quite correct, if Niagara was expected to go on patrol just as she stands, unmodified.
However...
Seeing as how she is a part of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania's Historical Commission, I could readily see her impressed into State service as an adjunct of the 28th Division PA National Guard, or the PA State Police, or Fish and Game Commission, or lots of other job slots as deemed necessary for the continued operation of the Commonwealth. And if a few National Guard M2s and/or surplus mortars or recoilless rifles are allotted for self-defense against smugglers, drug runners, or gang activity, that'd be all right, too.
