^ it's more of a SisterTrope from how i see it.

as said, you can feature TheArk as a vessel that ''already houses'' life or is a vessel called "Ark" (e.g. TitanAE, WesternAnimation/{{WALL-E}},Manga/OnePiece), and hence exclude the "flood" part since it's already AfterTheEnd.

and likewise, have a "put the biosphere in a ship" plot while minimally featuring or not featuring TheArk at all.

'''Generality'''

I know that. however:
[[quoteblock]]''Derived from a Latin word for "chest"'' ('''see also the Ark of the Covenant'''), an ark is ''now best known as'' a vessel[[/quoteblock]]
it also says so ''right there in the first sentence'' that it technically speaking, is still an ark (there's also the {{Terranigma}} example who isn't even a box yet somehow still counts due to the guess what? plot part).

what you're saying would be like not mentioning Adam and Eve in AdamAndEvePlot because they don't actually count.
