Not all ships sail; the term "sail" specifically refers to vessels that are propelled by sails and wind. While many ships, such as sailboats and tall ships, rely on this method of propulsion, others, like cargo ships, tankers, and submarines, use engines or other forms of power. Additionally, some ships are designed for specific purposes that do not involve sailing, such as ferrying or research. Thus, the functionality of a ship depends on its design and intended use.
