Ships are vessels designed for water transportation, each type serving a specific purpose. Cargo ships transport goods, tankers carry liquids like oil, and container ships move standardized containers. Passenger ships carry people, ferries transport passengers and vehicles across waterways, and cruise ships offer leisure voyages. Military ships include warships for combat, aircraft carriers for launching planes, and submarines for underwater operations. Fishing vessels are designed for catching fish, while research vessels conduct scientific studies at sea. The type of ship is determined by its function, size, design, and intended use.
