A Roman trireme as a modern intelligence platform

A hypothetical modern trireme refit would give the vessel an intelligence role.

Question

How would you refit a Roman-era trireme for modern naval combat?

Short answer

Fit it out as a spy ship for intelligence collection.

Notes

A trireme used in modern naval operations would be fitted out for intelligence collection. The proposed role is a spy ship, with no attempt to make the ancient hull a modern combatant.
