Warship

The Warship is an enemy featured in The Wind Waker, Phantom Hourglass, and Spirit Tracks. It is equipped with a cannon, and will persistently fire bombs at Link's boat or train. By sailing near to the Warship, it will be unable to hit Link. These ships can only be damaged once Link has the ability to use a cannon, which comes automatically with obtaining bombs in The Wind Waker, or as a separate item in Phantom Hourglass and Spirit Tracks.

Appearances
In The Wind Waker, three hits from the cannon will sink the Warship, usually leaving a Light Ring and a Treasure Sphere.

They reappear in Phantom Hourglass, this time crewed by Miniblin pirates. The larger Pirate Ship will attempt to board Link's ship, while the smaller metal ones provide cover fire. When destroyed, the larger ships often leave behind ship parts that can be dredged up with the Salvage Arm.

The Warships in Spirit Tracks only appear while Link is traveling around the Ocean Realm, and they usually attack Link in groups of three.

In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, on the Pirate Ship stage, these boats sometimes float by and shoot cannonballs at the characters.

Trivia

 * The symbol on the side of the Warships' rotating "heads" is the same as that featured on the shields of Darknuts in The Wind Waker.
 * Warships are not recognized by Carlov and do not have a figurine in the Nintendo Gallery.
