fire ship
A fire ship or fireship, used in the days of wooden rowed or sailing ships, was a ship filled with combustibles, deliberately set on fire and steered (or, where possible, allowed to drift) into an enemy fleet, in order to destroy ships, or to create panic and make the enemy break formation.〔(The Fireship and its Role in the Royal Navy ) by James Coggeshall. Master's Thesis, Texas A&M University, 1997〕 Ships used as fire ships were usually old and worn out or purpose-built inexpensive vessels. An explosion ship or ''hellburner'' was a variation on the fire ship, intended to cause damage by blowing up in proximity to enemy ships. Fireships were famously used to great effect by the English against the Spanish Armada during the Battle of Gravelines.〔(The Fireship and its Role in the Royal Navy ) by James Coggeshall. Master's Thesis, Texas A&M University, 1997, pp. 7-11〕
