+Military vessels are not generally available to PCs, or other civilians.  However, in exceptional circumstances, a PC with a Privateer contract may be allowed to purchae a Corvette.  Military vessels have smaller cargo holds than their civilian equivilent, as carg space has been converted to bunks or accommodation to house marines and offiocers.

+|{{:pathfinder:off-the-shelf:ships_boats:carrack.jpg?150|}}| **The ‘standard’ sailing ship** of the Pathfinder rules, with three masts and a large carrying capacity.  They often have raised forecastles and stern castles, with good accommodation for passengers and officers, and are generally used for long distance ocean travel. These are the most common type of ship used for ocean travel. They are built to many different designs, including barques, caravels, schooners, and carracks, while well-armed naval vessels are often known as frigates.|

+==== Warship ====
 These vessels all conform to the technical description of a **[[pathfinder:off-the-shelf:ships_boats:shipsstats#Warship|Warship]]**.  Minor, descriptive, items might change slightly, but the numbers don't.   Warships are large vessels, equipped with both oars and a sail, that carry a large crew, many siege weapons and up to 100 marines.  They do not travel well across open seas and are generally deployed in shallow waters, as part of a local navy.   They cost 25,000 gp, unless otherwise noted.

+==== Galleys ====
 These vessels all conform to the technical description of a **[[pathfinder:off-the-shelf:ships_boats:shipsstats#Galley|Galley]]**.  Minor, descriptive, items might change slightly, but the numbers don't.   Galleys are colossal vessels, equipped with both oars and a sail, that carry a large crew, up to 200 marines, many siege weapons, and are, perhaps, the fastest vessels on the seas.  They do not travel well across open seas and are generally deployed in shallow waters, as part of a local navy.   Bigger than Warships, they cost 30,000 gp, unless otherwise noted.
