The Demolition Ship is a ship in Age of Empires II packed with explosives that blows up against enemy ships, docks and anything too close the shore.

Its tactics resemble those of a cruise missile. It can cause great damage when it hits and will destroy most ships in one shot, but since it's a suicide unit it may not be worth the resource cost. It all depends on the exact situation. Since demolition ships are available for nearly all civilizations, civilizations with poor naval technology may improvise by using demolition ships to even the odds. Demolition ships are useful against the Galley and its upgrades, excellent against Fire Ships, and devastating against Transport Ships; however, they fare poorly against the heavily armed and armoured Korean Turtle Ship.

It upgrades to Heavy Demolition Ship.
