In response to "Do ships have transponders so they can be found anywhere? I assume it's not as easy as finding planes on radar." by Max

Yes, there's a system called AIS so ships know what other ships are in their local area, and AIS signals can be tracked via satellite

AIS can be turned off, but maritime intelligence people can also compare AIS data with satellite images
