Or, one could program a Class "A" transponder as a spoofer and have it read
USN Warship with an appropriate length for a minesweeper (fiberglass).

Time to figure out how to put your transponder in receive-only mode if  
you go into hazardous waters. Something a yacht the size of the ones  
the people of this group likely own, who aren't required to have AIS  
to the best of my knowledge.

If you get the magic incantation from the manufacturer, even the Class  
A units can be switched to this mode, although its not in the manual,  
at least for Furuno FA150. It takes a special password to kill the  
transmitter.
