What is claimed is: 1. A Water Friend or Foe System (WFFS), comprising:a first computing system located at a WFFS issuer of marine vessel authenticators, the first computing system comprising:a processor,a data bus coupled to the processor,a memory coupled to the data bus, wherein the memory is coupled to a vessel licensing database that includes vessel identification information, anda Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) card programmer, wherein the SIM card programmer is capable of storing, on a SIM card, vessel identification information, which is retrieved from the marine vessel licensing database, for a marine vessel;wherein the first computing system is designed to support a system that comprises:a first transceiver located on the marine vessel;a Global Information System (GIS) system located on the marine vessel, wherein the GIS system is capable of identifying a location of the marine vessel, and wherein the GIS system derives global positioning information from a Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver that is located on the marine vessel;a SIM card reader located on the marine vessel, wherein the SIM card reader is capable of reading, from the SIM card, vessel identification information about the marine vessel; anda second transceiver located at a WFFS tracking station, wherein the second transceiver tracks the location of, and confirms an identity of, the marine vessel in real time by received SIM data and GIS data that is transmitted from the first transceiver on the marine vessel, wherein the first transceiver is coupled to a Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) chip that identifies the first transceiver, and wherein the first transceiver periodically communicates an identity of the first transceiver to the second receiver based on data from the RFID chip; andwherein the GIS system includes a communication system selected from a group that includes a Global Marine Distress Safety System (GMDSS) transceiver, a GMDSS transmitter, and an Automatic Identifier System (AIS) transceiver; andwherein the GIS system includes a Global Information System (GIS) system located on one or more additional marine vessels capable of interacting with each other, wherein each additional transceiver tracks a location of, and confirms an identity of, other marine vessels in real time by received SIM data and GIS data that is transmitted from the first transceiver on the marine vessel, wherein SIM and GIS data is exchanged among all such transceivers in range; andwherein the GIS system on the marine vessel further comprises:a controller coupled between the SIM card reader and a propulsion system for the marine vessel, wherein, in response to the controller detecting an anomaly with a SIM card in the SIM card reader, the controller disables the marine vessel by issuing a command that shuts down the propulsion system; andwherein the marine vessel further comprises:a controller coupled between the SIM card reader and a propulsion system for the marine vessel, wherein, in response to the controller detecting an anomaly with the SIM card reader, the controller disables the marine vessel by issuing a command that shuts down the propulsion system; andwherein the marine vessel further comprises:a security device coupled between the SIM card reader and the first transceiver located on the marine vessel, wherein, in response to the security device detecting a tampering of the SIM card reader, the first transceiver transmits a tampering alarm to the second transceiver.
