Fire Ship
From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum
Imperial Fire Ship[1]
Fire ships are old vessels that are packed with incendiary explosives and then guided into the heart of an enemy fleet and detonated. The resulting explosion causes massive damage to any nearby ships.[1]
Fire ships were first used in the Gothic War during the defense of Delos, when Commodore Kurtz used two of them to cripple the Unforgivable.[1]
