Pretty self-explanatory: What the Cool Car and Tank Goodness is to the road, the Cool Plane is to the sky, and the Cool Starship is to space, the Cool Boat is to water, whether it's a steamship, a sailing ship, or a submarine. A sufficiently large Cool Boat may also serve as headquarters for the characters. If the hero's primary place of residence is a boat that the hero owns and can take wherever he wants across the waters, that's a Houseboat Hero. When the crew are just as cool and badass and the story is set before the production of metal ships, it could mean Wooden Ships and Iron Men. On the "boat" vs. "ship" thing: a boat is something you can lift out of the water and place on the deck of a ship.noteYou can ship a boat, but you can't ship a ship. (Except submarines are boats, a tradition dating back to the early submarines, which were called "submarine torpedo boats" and were small enough that they could be placed on the deck of a ship. Tenders usually are too, no matter how big they are.) And remember, it's not an it, she's a she.note Unless you're Russian. Or Spanish. Or Portuguese. Expect to get called on this by hardcore Navy types. That said, ships do count for this trope. Sub-Trope of Cool Ship. Under no circumstances confuse this with a Nice Boat... which is something entirely different and more disturbing. Though it may depend if you like the boat... And while it is always cool to Get on the Boat in RPGs, the two tropes don't necessarily overlap. |

You can bet there wasn't a kid alive in the 80's who didn't want Sonny Crockett's Endeavour 42 sailboat (complete with alligator) and Chris Craft Stinger 390 speedboat in Miami Vice. The producer absolutely made the Stinger look like sex on the water. "Oh, she can handle about 200 keys (of dope) and still outrun anything the Coast Guard's got." Badass Boat might've been the better description. |

The Seamoth and the Cyclops from Subnautica are another case of Cool Submarines. The Seamoth is a one-person submersible which can survive depths of up to 200m (or 900m when fully upgraded) and has a hugely customisable design, capable of taking a range of options from enhanced sonar to defensive capabilities. The Cyclops is a much larger design which can take depths of up to 500m (or 1700m when fully upgraded), is large enough to survive an assault from a Reaper Leviathan, has a dry-dock for the Seamoth, an onboard AI for navigation and collision detection, and five lockers worth of storage plus suitable free room for, say, a workshop, a cabin, or even a small garden, making it effectively a mobile underwater base. | |

Many of the ships in the Destroyermen series, especially as the series goes on. Just to name a few: USS Walker: Wickes-class destroyer, sent to a parallel world along with her sister ship USS Mahan. Turns out to be one of the most powerful ships on this world. USS Salissa: a former Lemurian Home (aircraft carrier-sized wooden sailing ship), converted into a steam-powered carrier. Also initially carries heavy guns, salvaged from the Japanese battlecruiser Amagi. USS Fitzhugh Gray: the lead ship of the first class of light cruisers in The Alliance navy. Basically, a scaled-up version of the Walker. IJN Amagi: a Japanese battlecruiser, which, at the time, is easily the most powerful warships in that world. Arata Amagi-class battleships: Grik-Japanese steam ironclads. Later converted into Akagi-class carriers by Kurokawa. Surcouf-type submarine: a "submarine cruiser" with twin 8" guns. Savoie: a Bretagne-class battleship from a parallel world, where France turned fascist. |

In Barotrauma You are the owner of one of several types of subs capable of surviving in the hostile undersea environment of Jupiter's moon Europa. Each sub has at least some kind of defense against the native life or alien machinery — electrical discharge coils, depth charge tubes, coilguns for small, numerous foes and railguns for the truly monstrous. The mightiest of the subs are the Kastrull and Typhon 2 which are the heavy gunships of the submarine world. For civilian purposes, the kings of commerce are the Berilia and Remora. | |

Subverted in The Terror: while the Erebus is regarded as supremely luxurious/high-tech/cool by the expedition's leaders, and had an IRL history of coolness-worthy achievements, Sir John Franklin's stubborn refusal to abandon his ever-so-cool flagship when it gets stuck in the ice is ultimately to blame for the uncool deaths of nearly 130 officers and crew. | |

The SS Tea Cup in Wario Land.

Total War: Shogun 2 has the Black Ships, which are, essentially, European trading ships that wouldn't be that effective against European navies of the time but are devastating against the grapple-and-board row-powered Japanese ships of the period. "The Fall of the Samurai" DLC moves the action to the 19th century with all ships being steamers. The best ships are ironclads, which can break your clan's economy if you're not careful (so can the Black Ships in the vanilla game, by the way, if you manage to capture one). To even get an ironclad, you need to make friends with one of the Western powers (UK, France, US), in which case you will be able to recruit 1 or 2 of their ironclads (Warrior, L'Océan, Roanoke). You can also build weaker Japanese ironclads of the K�tetsu class (even though the original K�tetsu was French-made). A single ironclad can wipe out a fleet of wooden steamers, especially with explosive rounds that set fire to them. Due to the limitations of the engine, the developers chose to make the Roanoke a broadside-type ship instead of having it be armed with revolving turrets, as it was in Real Life. On the other hand, even an ironclad can be sunk by one or two torpedo strikes, which makes those torpedo boats useful if they can line up their shots correctly and can do so before being blasted by the ironclad. |

Hostile Waters: Antaeus Rising has the Antaeus, the prototype for the so-called "adaptive cruisers". Interesting in that, at the start of the game, it's 20 years old, and one of only two survivors of its class (the Antaeus was number 00, and the other was number 04, but 04 fails to respond to the surface order given before the game begins). The primary feature of the class is the ability to build combat forces on the spot using nanomachines. At the end of the game, the Antaeus is turned into a makeshift nuke and sent on a kamikaze mission to stop a hostile race from escaping Earth. It's assumed nobody onboard (read: the captain, aka you, and the various brain profiles that make up your combat forces) survived. Your enemies, however, not only make it into space anyway, they also take over the creation engine of your ship. Downer Ending, indeed. | |

Humanx Commonwealth: The Slanderscree from the Icerigger trilogy is a vast technological improvement upon the Tran natives' usual rafts, sporting clipper-style masts and sails, a needle-slim racing hull, and skids made of unbreakable Commonwealth duralloy. Skids, because it's an iceship and speeds over Tran-ky-ky's frozen oceans so fast that it needs inverted side-mounted airfoils just to avoid lifting off. | |

Pirates of the Caribbean Online: The player's own ship can become this, with enough materials and upgrades. Sufficient investment can result in your ship being able to tank broadside after broadside while being able to retaliate with cannonballs made of explosive material or even just by flat-out shooting lightning at the enemy. The Goliath is the Final Boss of the main story quest. It's a Ship-of-the-Line with eighteen broadside cannons, with the ability to fire Firebrand cannonballs, and after the grueling gauntlet against the bridges, it will be ready to stop the player from escaping with the Black Pearl. |

From Zipang we have DDG-182 Mirai, a Japanese Self-Defense Force Yukinami-class guided missile destroyer (which is a modified variant of America's Arleigh Burke destroyers) sent back to World War II by an undetermined phenomenon. As an early 21st century warship in the mid 20th century battlefield, Mirai terrifies both the Imperial Japanese Navy and the United States Navy. In addition to that, Mirai also has a cool scout-recon aircraft, the MVSA-32J Umidori. Mirai experienced a kind of Defictionalization a few years after the series started, when the JMDF introduced a nearly identical class of ship—the Atago guided missile destroyers. | |

A number of 21st-century ships in Axis of Time, especially since they're facing off against World War II-era technology. Most of those ships have on-board AIs capable of singlehandedly control the ship's defense systems (consisting of MetalStorm and laser pods). The key players are the USS Hillary Clinton (advanced supercarrier launching F-22 Raptors), the HMS Trident (triple-hulled stealth destroyer) that One Hit Kills the Tirpitz, and the HMAS Havoc (submarine responsible for sinking most of the Japanese fleet). Honorable mention goes to the JDS Siranui (stealth cruiser that ends up leading the US Pacific Fleet for a time) and the Dessaix (French stealth destroyer that ends up in the hands of the bad guys). | |

Metal Gear: Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty: Arsenal Gear, it lacked every single advantage of a Metal Gear, in alphabetical order. There's also the fact it was essentially a mobile staging platform for mass-production model Metal Gear RAYs, having a hangar for at least a dozen of them which would be controlled from safely inside Arsenal, making it quite a formidable and valuable naval asset. Also, its improved version, Outer Haven from Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots where it holds an entire army. |

James Bond: The Disco Volante from Thunderball. The bow part is actually a hydrofoil and can detach from the rest to go faster. The gadgets-filled Amazon boat from Moonraker. Some might think the "Bondola" (Bond's hovercraft gondola) also fits this. In The Spy Who Loved Me, there's Karl Stromberg's Liparus, and Elliot Carver's stealth boat from Tomorrow Never Dies (the latter obviously supposed to be the real-life Sea Shadow stealth technology demonstrator). Bond villains luck out with boats, apparently. For Your Eyes Only had the St. Georges — an ugly Maltese fishing trawler on the outside, but on the inside a sophisticated Spy Ship capable of launching Britain's nuclear arsenal. The speedboat conceived by Q in The World Is Not Enough. No Time to Die has a two-seater glider that can fold into a mini-submarine. The film also has the Royal Navy destroyer HMS Dragon. |

Monster Hunter 4 has the Arluq, a pink whale-shaped ship that carries the Capital C Caravan. It boasts a huge drill on the front for inflicting massive damage to dragon-type monsters known as a Dragonator, as well as multiple ballista units and cannons, in the event of a monster attack in mid-voyage. Which does happen when the Caravan tries to leave Harth, courtesy of the Gore Magala. Later, a blimp attachment allows the Arluq to fly, turning it into a Global Airship and letting it reach the high-elevation mountain village of Cathar. | |

5th ed. Dungeons & Dragons mentions one for the Forgotten Realms in the supplement Sword Coast Adventurer's Guide. In the entry for the city of Yartar, the scribe mentioned that more impressive than their Shields of Yartar cavalry or their fortress, the Shield Tower (which is protected by skeleton warriors emerging out of the ground), is the ship, the Waterbaron's Barge. It's a massive vessel capable of carrying 200 infantry or 75 cavalary and it's well-armoured with iron plate. On the deck are multiple, rapid-fire Automatic Crossbow type weapons that shoot a dozen rounds per attack. The Waterbaron's Barge method for dealing with raiders to Yartar is to hit them with 2 volleys before banking ashore and releasing the warriors to charge them. The scribe mentoned that no enemy force remained unbroken when hit with that attack. 5th ed. supplement Ghosts of Saltmarsh gives rules on how to create your own Cool Boat. The rules for Superior Ship Upgrades has a listing of magical or mundane devices to greatly improve a boat whether it's a reinforced hull or a figurehead that's actually an Iron Golem. The listings for upgrades are Hull, Movement, Weapon, Figurehead and Miscellaneous. You can only have one upgrade from under each category with the exceptions of Miscellaneous (you can take everything in the list) and Weapon (you can get 2 upgrades if one upgrade is Arcane Artillery). Every ship, whether a humble rowboat or a powerful warship, can be made cool with even just one of these upgrades. One recurring magical item from Advanced Dungeons and Dragons onwards is the Appartus of Kwalish which looks like a very large barrel but activate a latch and it turns into a lobster-like vehicle that can walk on land, float on water and dive underwater up to 900 feet (beyond that and the apparatus takes damage). It can even use its claws to attack for more damage than a greatsword. |

Ace Combat 6: Fires of Liberation has the Marigold. a Kirov-class Battlecruiser that is the pride of the Emmerian Navy and one of the reoccurring allied units of the campaign. Her classification as a Battlecruiser is well deserved, as the Marigold hosts an extremely powerful arsenal that can take out most enemy units instantly and she's durable enough to survive multiple battles with various amounts of damage and still come back strong. | |

Super Mario Bros.: The airships from the series manage to roll Cool Boat, Cool Airship, and Cool Starship all into one flying pirate ship. The SS Tea Cup in Wario Land. Large enough to serve as a world of the game, and if maps are to be believed, something like a few hundred to a thousand feet in length and height, it's got plenty of rooms, mooks, treasure and entire rooms made of solid stone. Oddly, it's a lot smaller in the intro cut scene. Yoshi's Island: One of Yoshi's transformations in Yoshi's Universal Gravitation is a boat that navigates though the waters you get to tilt in some stages. |

Ace Combat 5: The Unsung War has the Scinfaxi and Hrimfaxi submarines, which are also aircraft carriers somehow. Well, there really have been submarines that carried planes on board. The Japanese had about 50 during WWII, and one of their sub-launched planes even managed to bomb the continental US. Nowadays, you'd probably launch UAVs. The Scinfaxi and Hrimfaxi do launch aircraft, but only small combat-equipped UAVs for air defense during the times when they must surface. Probably a simpler solution than having to mount deck guns for the same purpose. |

Unlike its predecessors, it is a full-blown submersible aircraft carrier. It's also equipped with a nuclear rail cannon, armed to the teeth with attack and forcefield drones, and has plenty of conventional anti-air cannons, CIWS and surface-to-air missile launchers for good measure. |

Besides the Control Room (with portraits of Commander Sith) and the Torpedo Room, the sub also has (from left) an engine room, a mess hall, and a crew cabin. And above the mess hall is a luxurious Captain's Cabin with a fancy bed, a telephone, and a mechanical device that picks out grapes, which is probably Commander Sith's way of sleeping at night. It's no wonder the sub is so luxurious. | |

Command & Conquer: While Red Alert got most of the attention for ships, the Tiberian series has a few notable ones, namely the Massive Nod Cruisers in Command & Conquer: Tiberium Wars which have considerable range with their missiles (and looking like a giant end of a scorpion's tail) and the Nod Hovercrafts, which look like giant flying manta rays. Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 introduced several awesome ships with its new focus on more naval combat, with veterans (the Allied Aircraft Carrier and the Soviet Dreadnoughts), as well as the new Assault Destroyer, a huge gunship with tank treads, and most of the Empire of the Rising Sun's navy counts. |

The Nautilus in 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, an advanced submarine in the 19th century, has a size and underwater travel range that would not be matched in the real world until after World War II, with a speed only matched by one sub in history in real life, the Soviet Lyra/"Alfa" class (unfortunately, it wouldn't work as described by Verne, who extrapolated from several cutting-edge technologies of the time and scaled them up). On the other hand, since she attacked surface ships by ramming them, it's surprising Captain Nemo never thought of inventing the torpedo. Nautilus was a ship of such coolness that several later vessels have been named after her — including, appropriately enough, the world's first nuclear submarine, USS Nautilus. | |

One Piece has a number of examples, many quite cool. It's kind of required. There are the ships used by the Straw Hat Pirates, the Going Merry and the Thousand Sunny. Notably, Thousand Sunny carries a small fleet of smaller boats, among them a submarine. Sunny also has a jet engine and Gaon Cannon which shoots extremely pressurized (and devastating) blasts of air — both powered by cola. The ship that conquered the Grand Line was Gol D. Roger's Oro Jackson. It looks like a regular pirate ship with duo-mermaid figurehead and red sails. Whitebeard's personal ship, the Moby Dick is a ship that goes underwater. Note — not a submarine, a sailing ship. One with a hull shaped like a blue whale, but still a sailing ship. The Moby Dick, and many other ships including the Thousand Sunny, have a special coating that allows them to do this. Gecko Moria's Thriller Bark is the size of a freaking island and its swarming with zombies. The Golden Lion Pirates have a ship that is part of an island. Oh, and due to the power of the captain, it flies! The Utan Sonar and Victory Hunter captained by Shoujou and Mashira, respectively. As the name implies, the Utan Sonar has a sonar beacon that is powered by Shoujou's voice — and while the masts of most sailing ships are made out of an entire tree's trunk, Sonar's masts are actual, living trees. Victory Hunter has a giant clamp on the front (that looks like a Cymbal Clapping Monkey) that can be used to pull up stuff from the bottom of the ocean. The setting of the movie, One Piece Film: Gold, is set on a cruise liner that houses a massive city within it. It's so huge that the World Government even declares it as its own nation. |

The Godzilla franchise has the underwater battleship Gotengo (the name translating as "Ship of the Roaring Heavens"), one of the few vessels capable of facing the Kaiju and sometimes win: Atragon (original title: "Undersea Warship") has the Gotengo (renamed Atragon) in the international release) starting being built after World War II by its captain and designer Hachiro Jinguji out of exaggerated nationalistic pride. The ship was so powerful and advanced that the lost kingdom of Mu, with its immense technological superiority, demands the rest of the world stops the construction or the surface civilization will be destroyed. And once the Mu attack and Jinguji can be finally convinced to fight for the whole world rather than the glory of the lost militaristic Japan, the ship attacks directly Mu-and proceeds to kill its guardian kaiju Manda (a gigantic dragon) before taking out the whole kingdom. Godzilla: Final Wars opens with the Gotengo defeating and sealing into ice Godzilla itself, though she was almost destroyed in the battle. Years later the upgraded Gotengo gets damaged defeating Manda, and so is the only one of the Earth Defence Force to escape when the Xillians take control of most kaiju and use them for their invasion of Earth, and the captain, being the kind of madman Earth needed at the moment, had the bright idea of freeing Godzilla to fight for Earth. |

Noah's ark as found in Rabbinic literature, The Bible, and The Qur'an. In the Quran, the ark is said to have been made of teak, and Noah could invoke Allah's name to control the ship's movements. Noah and his ark also appear in Bahá'à scripture, but there the ark is regarded as a symbol of faith rather than as a literal ship. | |

In Young Justice (2010), villain Black Manta has two cool subs. A smaller, slimmer and clean-designed one, used by a few operatives in specific missions, and a much bigger and bulkier one (enough to store the smaller one inside it with room to spare) serving as a mobile base. Given that both are manta-shaped, the smaller one looks like a juvenile offspring of the bigger one. In the second season, it becomes very symbolic, as the smaller one is usually piloted by Manta's son Kaldur/Aqualad, who took the identity of Black Manta II(Kaldur was still a good guy, but was undercover), while his father usually stayed in the bigger manta-sub. | |

The point of the Naval Ops series. You start your way with a destroyer hull and some really puny weapons, and through a lot of fighting and research and designing, hopefully end up with a Cool Ship tailored to your liking. Possibilities for high end Cool Ships include an ultra-high-speed missile frigate with enough gizmos to make Bond jealous, an old-fashioned battleship but with gravity and EMP shielding and a good enough loading system to blot out the sun with artillery fire, a battleship with a drill mounted on the hull, a battleship with a Wave-Motion Gun, a submarine that looks like a torpedo-firing shark, and a aircraft carrier with a full wing of whatever kind of planes you want to kill things with. In addition, the bosses of that series mostly come in the form of superships. In the early game they tend to just be versions of usually pretty normal ship types except for the fact that they're a hundred or so times bigger than they should be. Whether that makes them cool ships itself is not certain, but the superships that appear later usually get stranger (and cooler). Cool superships include a giant drillship, twin-hulled battleships, an iceberg aircraft carrier, and invisible battleships. The iconic Druna Skass (or Wolkenkratzer in the Japanese version) deserves a special mention. This recurring boss since the earliest installment of the series (a sprite-based PC game) is armed to the teeth and sports ultra-heavy armor which renders cannons smaller than 60cm harmless. The ship and its variations are the only canon superweapons to sport a literal Wave-Motion Gun in the series to this date, which was used to blast the Shikoku Island into two halves just to make a grand entry for itself in Warship Gunner 2. |

Pirates of the Caribbean wouldn't be a proper tale about piracy if it didn't feature at least one cool ship— East Indiaman Black Pearl set the tone for the series straight away. She's been burned, sunk (twice), resurfaced, renamed, stolen (twice), cursed, went to Davy Jones' Locker and came back to tell the tale. In spite of all that, she's one of the fastest sailing ships in the world, if not the fastest. Little wonder that Jack Sparrow says that the Black Pearl represents freedom to him. Then there's the Flying Dutchman. She's covered in barnacles and seaweed, crewed by undying fishmen, can sail against the wind faster than any other sailing ship, and can dive and resurface as easily as a fish. She also sports a pair of tri-barreled rotary cannons on her bow—oh, and she's got the ability to literally Summon Bigger Fish. Queen Anne's Revenge from the fourth film. All together now, everybody: MAGIC PIRATE FLAMETHROWERS. Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales has the Silent Mary, a massive ghost ship that can eat other ships whole. Being big budget movies about pirates, there are many more examples, but they just can't keep up with the four supernatural ships. |

The Red October from The Hunt for Red October: a modified "Typhoon" class submarine with an (almost) silent drive system and 26 nuclear missiles as compared to the 20 that the other Typhoons of Real Life had. Consider that each of those missiles could carry ten warheads (eight in the novel). Especially in the film, where The Reveal of the sub becomes a Moment of Awesome, complete with Ominous Russian Chanting. | |

With the Mythbusters being who they are, you just know they've got a cool boat or two in their workshop— In the interest of finding out whether Project Habakkuk of World War II could have worked, Adam and Jamie built the Yesterday's News — a motorboat made out of frozen newspapers (similar to the wood pulp and ice that Project Habakkuk's carriers would have used, but stronger). Yesterday's News was seaworthy for all of ten minutes before the hull started to thaw. Can you get much cooler than a frozen boat? In their Duct Tape Island special, the duo built Stuck On You — an outrigger canoe made of duct tape. Stuck On You performed even better than Yesterday's News, holding together for seven hours despite open ocean and swells near the shore. |

Horatio Hornblower: HMS Indefatigable. About once an episode in the first series, "Indy" appears unexpectedly over the horizon to save the day, to shouts of "It's the bloody Indy!" She is never boarded and never seriously damaged. Her sailors love her to bits. What a ship! Cool boat indeed. She even has her Leitmotif. HMS Renown in the second series. A ship of the line with gazillion of guns. Less cool than the "Indy", but she's still a very decent ship. She has an oppressing, suffocating atmosphere at first, being captain by a tyrannical captain, but it's clear that her sailors love her and are proud to be serving aboard her. HMS Hotspur, only a mere sloop, but still a fine ship. She's Captain Hornblower's second command. Would you expect this ship anything less than stellar? You'd be wrong. |

From The Pirates of Dark Water, The Wraith, vessel of the heroes, can detach its mainsail as a glider. Dread Pirate Bloth's ship, the Maelstrom, is as big as a modern supercarrier, and can swallow other ships whole. And is still fast enough to catch the Wraith on sail power. Bonus points for that it's apparently made with the skeleton of some sort of Behemoth. | |

The Elric Saga has several fantasy versions of these. First there are gigantic ziggurat battleships of the Melnibonean navy. These enormous battleships can bombard enemy ships with catapults that hurl alchemical fireballs, and these ziggurat ships are nearly impervious to hull damage to their thick plates of armour made from gold. Second was an artifact boat that was joint venture between the elemental lords Strassha and Grome, as such the boat can sail on land as well as sea (though later the Earth lord Grome, in a hissy fit, revoked the power to sail on land) and finally there are colossal ships of the Chaos Navy. These magical ships are titans that dwarf the Melnibonean golden ships in size and herald the end of the world. | |

Sandokan: Many (after all, the series is mostly set at sea), but the ships of the Tigers of Mompracem in general and Sandokan and Yanez' personal ships in the third, fourth and fifth novels (the Marianna in The Pirates of Malaysia and the two Pearl of Labuan in The Two Tigers and The King of the Sea) take the cake, being the fusion of the traditional Malaysian proas (spelled praho in the series) with European shipbuilding techniques to obtain ships far faster, better armed and tougher than any sailing vessel of similar size. The King of the Sea from the novel of the same name: an ironclad warship originally named Nebraska and built in Oregon for the Sultan of Shemmeridan, it's literally the mightiest ship of the whole world, with thicker armor, larger main guns (four of them in two turrets) and greater speed than anything anyone else had built to that point. As soon as he learns that the new Sultan of Shemmeridan refused to buy it (and left the builders the money paid in advance), Yanez bought it for twice the requested price—and found out the ship was so invincible he had still bought it cheap. |

Atragon (original title: "Undersea Warship") has the Gotengo (renamed Atragon) in the international release) starting being built after World War II by its captain and designer Hachiro Jinguji out of exaggerated nationalistic pride. The ship was so powerful and advanced that the lost kingdom of Mu, with its immense technological superiority, demands the rest of the world stops the construction or the surface civilization will be destroyed. And once the Mu attack and Jinguji can be finally convinced to fight for the whole world rather than the glory of the lost militaristic Japan, the ship attacks directly Mu-and proceeds to kill its guardian kaiju Manda (a gigantic dragon) before taking out the whole kingdom. | |

Minerva from The Baroque Cycle was designed to be a pirate-killer, and it does a pretty good job of it. Its bottom is also lined with metal (Unobtanium at first, later replaced with ordinary copper) to prevent it from catching barnacles; not much of a big deal in modern times, but the book was set during The Cavalier Years. | |

Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag also gives us the Jackdaw, like the Aquila, a ship that can become a worthy floating fortress able to take on even the toughest Man O' Wars! For reference, the Jackdaw started out as a Spanish brig that was part of a fleet sent by the Templars to England with a number of prisoners, among them Edward Kenway and Adéwalé. Assassin's Creed Rogue gives us the Morrigan, a ship owned by the Templar protagonist Shay Cormac, complete with Red and Black and Evil All Over. |

Supreme Commander has several, depending on your preferred variety of boat. The UEF boasts the Atlantis submersible aircraft carrier and the Summit battleship that looks like a WW2 battleship updated with plasma weapons, the Aeon have the Tempest submersible factory battleship and the Macross Missile Massacre of the Torrent missile cruiser, and the Seraphim offering is the Hathuum battleship with onboard nuclear missile factory and launcher. The Cybran destroyer. Maybe not as impressively huge or powerful as the other examples, but it can crawl out of the water and walk on land, essentially turning into a six-legged Humongous Mecha, with naval-scale weaponrynote That is, a very powerful direct-fire gun that rivals light artillery range. In other words, baserape for those without Tier 2 defense guns. It even came with it's own built-in anti-air capabilities. The first three races also have their own nuclear attack subs, capable of sitting in the ocean and building nukes to fire at enemies. The nukes were shorter ranged, but the ships also had the ability to launch cruise missiles either while waiting or to knock out enemy nuke defenses. The UEF cruiser also had on-board cruise missiles in addition to being largely immune to missiles itself. The Cybran Cruiser lacked the "land-legs" of the Destroyer but made up for it with it's Anti-Air, which could be converted to ground level unguided use, much like the T1 AA unit. Far more useful on the sea due to the larger size of enemy naval targets. Taken to whole new levels in the sequel. Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No... it's a god damn flying Cybran "naval"-fleet that now sports jumpjets, can walk on land, lays a smackdown on anything it encounters, and has no real hardcounter. EVERY. CYBRAN. SHIP. Submarines? Yeah I'll walk on land. Tanks? Ok, lets go for a swim. Experimentals? Kiting all day, every day. Cybrans are all about adapting to the enemy. And with their cruisers they knocked the ball into the stratosphere. |

Marauders: Mutantkind is flush with cash, so their sea-based team has a pair. Captain Kate Pryde has the Marauder, a high-tech luxury liner commissioned by the Hellfire Club and it's armed with a Phalanx CIWS and a couple of main cannons. Emma Frost, the Marauder's financial benefactor, also got her brother Christian to aid the team. Christian's ship, Mercury, is a submarine whose interface is sometimes a piano and it also doubles as a spaceship. | |

The Tuatha De Danaan from Full Metal Panic! is a state-of-the-art submarine featuring numerous missile silos, a small air force for land-based operations, and a contingent of the most advanced Humongous Mecha known to mankind. It's also a stealth submarine, meaning it has sonar-dampening hull and an ultra-silent magnetohydrodynamic drive. If that doesn't scream "cool", I don't know what does. By the 3rd Super Robot Wars Z though, it gets converted mid-way into a Cool Starship. | |

The Naglfar from Michael J. Ward's The Eye of Winter's Fury (Book 3 of Destiny Quest, a Fighting Fantasy-type series) is a ship based on the Naglfar of Norse mythology and is also crewed by ghost sailors and formed from the hair and nails of the dead. This one is also capable of defending itself with otherworldly versions of ballistae. | |

During the Chinese campaign in Age of Empires III: The Asian Dynasties you have a giant treasure ship instead of a home city. | |

The Yabba Dabba Doo, the eco-terrorist Dufresne's vessel from Sewer, Gas & Electric, is the only submarine in history to boast an on-board arboretum that's also the escape-capsule, a polka-dot paint job, and hamster tubing threaded through its interior alongside the wires and pipes. | |
