48) Amphibious Assault Ships
An amphibious warship is an amphibious warship used to land and support enemy territory in an amphibian attack. The design evolved from aircraft carriers that were converted to be used as helicopter carriers (and as a result often mistaken for traditional stationary wing carriers). Modern ships support amphibian landing vessels, including many design wells. Some full-circle amphibious fighter ships also support V / STOL fixed-wing aircraft.
49) Landing Craft
Landing crafts are small and medium-sized sea vessels such as boats and barges that are used to bring landing forces (infantry and vehicles) from sea to shore during an amphibian attack. This term excludes large landing ships. Production of landing vessels remained high during World War II, with a significant number of different designs being produced in large quantities by the United Kingdom and the United States.
50) Mine Warfare Craft
Mines remain one of the greatest threats to warships and shipping vessels alike. To counter the threat, navies of the world are forced to field an effective mine warfare force for neutralizing mines/minefields. Conversely, a mine warfare force can be called upon to lay down minefields in strategic waters.These ships are designed to withstand these mines.
51) Replenishment ships
replenishment ships is a naval auxiliary ship with fuel tanks and dry cargo holds which can supply both fuel and dry stores during underway replenishment (UNREP) at sea. Many countries have used replenishment ships
52) Repair and Support Ships
The repair ship is a naval support vessel. Repair ship destroyers provide similar services to submarines and seaplane tenders or depot ships, but can also offer a wide range of repairs, including equipment and personnel to repair more important machinery failures or war damage.
Support Ships, as their name implies, are generally defined as noncombatant or defensively armed ships whose mission is to assist the fighting forces. While support ships are perhaps best known for their role in naval warfare
53) Naval Transports
These ships are used for naval transport.
54) Naval Auxiliaries
An auxiliary ship is a naval ship designed to operate in support of combatant ships and other naval operations. Auxiliaries are not primary combatants.although they may have some limited combat capacity, usually of a self-defence nature.
55) Fishing Vessels
A fishing vessel is a boat or ship used to catch fish in the sea, or on a lake or river. Many different kinds of vessels are used in commercial, artisanal and recreational fishing.
56) Lightships
lightship, is a ship that acts as a lighthouse. They are used in waters that are too deep or otherwise unsuitable for lighthouse construction. Although some records exist of fire beacons being placed on ships in Roman times, the first modern lightvessel was off the Nore sandbank at the mouth of the River Thames in England, placed there by its inventor Robert Hamblin in 1734. The type has become largely obsolete; lighthouses replaced some stations as the construction techniques for lighthouses advanced, while large, automated buoys replaced others
57) Pilot Vessels
A pilot vessel is a type of boat used to transport maritime pilots between land and the inbound or outbound ships that they are piloting.
58) Icebreakers
An icebreaker is a special-purpose ship or boat designed to move and navigate through ice-covered waters, and provide safe waterways for other boats and ships. Although the term usually refers to ice-breaking ships, it may also refer to smaller vessels,
59) Patrol Craft
A patrol boat (also referred to as a patrol craft, patrol ship or patrol vessel) is a relatively small naval vessel generally designed for coastal defence, border protection, immigration law-enforcement, search and rescue duties. There have been many designs for patrol boats. They may be operated by a nation's navy, coast guard, police force or customs and may be intended for marine ("blue water") or estuarine ("green water") or river ("brown water") environments. They are commonly found engaged in various border protection roles, including anti-smuggling, anti-piracy, fisheries patrols, and immigration law enforcement. They are also often called upon to participate in rescue operations. Vessels of this type include the original yacht (from Dutch/Low German jacht meaning hunting or hunt), a light, fast-sailing vessel used by the Dutch navy to pursue pirates and other transgressors around and into shallow waters.
60) Lifeboats and Rescue Craft
A rescue lifeboat is a boat rescue craft which is used to attend a vessel in distress, or its survivors, to rescue crew and passengers. It can be hand pulled, sail powered or powered by an engine. Lifeboats may be rigid, inflatable or rigid-inflatable combination hulled vessels.
61) Fireboats
A fireboat is a specialized watercraft with pumps and nozzles designed for fighting shoreline and shipboard fires. The first fireboats, dating to the late 18th century, were tugboats, retrofitted with firefighting equipment.Older designs derived from tugboats and modern fireboats more closely resembling seafaring ships can both be found in service today. Some departments would give their multi-purpose craft the title of "fireboat" also.
62) Preserved Vessels and Museum Ships
A museum ship, also called a memorial ship, is a ship that has been preserved and converted into a museum open to the public for educational or memorial purposes. Some are also used for training and recruitment purposes, mostly for the small number of museum ships that are still operational and thus capable of regular movement.
63) Sailing Ships
A sailing ship is a sea-going vessel that uses sails mounted on masts to harness the power of wind and propel the vessel. There is a variety of sail plans that propel sailing ships, employing square-rigged or fore-and-aft sails. Some ships carry square sails on each mast-the brig and full-rigged ship, said to be "ship-rigged" when there are three or more masts.Others carry only fore-and-aft sails on each mast-schooners. Still others employ a combination of square and fore-and aft sails, including the barque, barquentine, and brigantine.Sailing ships developed differently in Asia, which produced the junk and dhow-vessels that incorporated innovations absent in European ships of the time. Technically in the Age of Sail a ship was a specific type of vessel, with a bowsprit and three masts, each of which consists of a lower, top, and topgallant mast
64) Yachts
A yacht is a sail or power vessel used for pleasure, cruising, or racing. There is no standard definition, so the term applies to such vessels that have a cabin with amenities that accommodate overnight use. To be termed a yacht, as opposed to a boat, such a pleasure vessel is likely to be at least 33 feet (10 m) in length and have been judged to have good aesthetic qualities.
The Commercial Yacht Code classifies yachts 79 ft (24 m) and over as large.Such yachts typically require a hired crew and have higher construction standards. Further classifications for large yachts are: commercial—carrying no more than 12 passengers, private—solely for the pleasure of the owner and guests, or by flag, the country under which it is registered. A superyacht (sometimes megayacht) generally refers to any yacht (sail or power) longer than 131 ft (40 m).
Racing yachts are designed to emphasize performance over comfort.Charter yachts are run as a business for profit.As of 2020 there were more than 15,000 yachts of sufficient size to require a professional crew.
