Harbor Havoc Ships
The hulls that actually look like a navy.
Ships are the minority playstyle and the majority of the health bar. A Jet Ski has 250 health. A Haunted Ship has 15,000. That gap is why a single Battleship can look unkillable to a new gunner and still lose a harbor if nobody else shows up. This page is the water list. Pair it with the ship tier list and the vehicles hub.
Tokens spawn the hull. Gold unlocks it. You start with 10 Tokens. Anything at 8 Tokens is a commitment. Die in a Battleship and you may not have another capital spawn for a while. Cheap boats exist so you can scout, cap, or flee.

The Speed Boat and Turret Boat left the shop. If an old video tells you to main them, use the Jet Ski or Destroyer instead. Event hulls such as the Yacht and Haunted Ship are not always listed. When they are, they can out-health everything you can buy with Gold.
How to pick a hull
The Jet Ski is a flag taxi. One Token, no Gold, enough speed to reach a mid-map island before the first bomber. It is not a gun platform. Use it with how to capture islands and then spawn something with teeth.
The Destroyer is the first real ship. Four Tokens, 61 speed, 3,000 health. It can escort, it can run, and it can still die to a dedicated air attack. The Cruiser and Heavy Cruiser are the grind most naval players should sit in. They cost 5 to 7 Tokens, which you can afford after a short wait if you did not waste the opening on a carrier.
The Battleship is the name people search. Eight Tokens and 8,000 health. It is slower than the Destroyer and easier to bomb. Bring teammates. A lone Battleship parked under the enemy harbor is a pinata. Read how to destroy the enemy harbor before you treat 8,000 HP as a win condition.
The Aircraft Carrier is the strongest regular purchase at 10,000 health. It is also 8 Tokens and 11,000 Gold. It exists to hold space and launch smaller craft, not to 1v1 a Space Bomber. If you bought it to farm, you bought the wrong toy. Farming is how to earn Gold.
Water versus air
About half of players have never commanded a boat. That means mid-map water is often empty. A Destroyer on a captured island can farm incoming planes while your air wing hits the harbor. It also means your team may have zero hulls when the enemy parks a Cruiser on your flag. Someone has to spawn wet. If that someone is you, this table is the argument for a Destroyer over another Jet.
Turrets on friendly ships are a third playstyle. You do not need to own the hull to man a gun. If your Tokens are dry, board. Controls for that sit on the controls page.
When you are ready to rank these hulls instead of shopping them, open the ship tier list.
