Carriers, battleships, and heavy cruisers. Heavy cruisers had 8" guns, light cruisers had 6" guns.
Indian navy is an armed force consisting of a variety if war ships such as, aircraft carriers, battle ships, destroyers, frigates, submarines,et. whereas the merchant navy is commercial organization consisting of tankers, cargo ships etc.
The short easy answer is normally the bow and stern of the vessel. As the ship gets bigger this becomes more complicated.
There were no hulks among the ships of the First Fleet. Hulks were large ships that had been decommissioned from service in England, and instead were used as floating prisons when the gaols in England became too overcrowded to take more prisoners.
There were still forests with large numbers of very old large trees needed to make the tall masts of ships in New England, whereas the forests of Europe had already been largely logged out of such trees making it harder and more expensive to get them.
The area had plenty of forests that provided nessesary materials. for trade (particularly slaves) new England seaports grew, more merchant ships were being built. They used them for fishing. New England made high quality valuable ships.

Yes, merchant ships can carry passengers, though this is not their primary function. Some cargo vessels, particularly those on specific routes, may have accommodations for a limited number of passengers, offering a more unique travel experience compared to traditional cruise ships. However, the facilities and amenities on merchant ships are typically more basic, focusing primarily on cargo transport. Passengers should check with the shipping line for availability and safety regulations.
That would be a fleet.

Ancient Roman sailing ships typically had one to three sails, depending on the type and size of the vessel. The most common design was the trireme, which featured a single large sail, while larger merchant ships could have multiple sails to harness wind power more effectively. The sails were usually made of cloth or animal hides, and the rigging was designed to allow for flexibility in navigating different wind conditions.
The use by British and the Americans of a convoy system (40-70 ships) and the development of more effective anti-submarine weapons such as depth charges and radar helped protect Allied merchant ships.
Uboats were made to attack and sink merchant ships carrying supplies to Great Britain. Germany knew if they managed to cut Britain's supplies off then they would be unable to continue the war. They did this by launching torpedos which blew holes in enemy ships under the waterline, causing them to take on water and sink. As the war progressed, more and more were built to combat military ships as well as merchant vessels. Hope this helps.
Most ships no matter if they are cruse ships or merchant,battle,tankers,depending on their size can be 50,000 gallons or more,they use very crud oil for fuel,only the military uses nucluer powered vessels.
In some jurisdictions a navigable river is one which will allow it to be used by any vessel as large as or larger than a canoe. The question therefore is how big does a river have to be to carry a ship as opposed to a boat. For sailing ships, it is easy - they must have three or more masts. Submarines may be large but they are always boats as are ferries.
Sailboats, cruise ships, houseboats, tramp steamers, oil tankers, and there are more that I can't think of right now.
