Blizzard's Patch 6.2 Shipyard Preview

Ships are similar to followers in that you can send them out on missions (
Naval Missions
for Ships), but they can be destroyed on failed missions and are much easier to level back up (no ilvls or levels required).
You can customize your Ships, and even rename them! Cool abilities include
Trained Shark Tank
and
Unsinkable
.
There are five types of ships--Destroyer, Submarine, Carrier, Battleship, and Transport. These all counter a specific threat. Ships also come with
Crews
and two
Equipment Slots
