Tropes involving vehicles capable of travelling on and/or under water (or other liquids if need be). Can also include amphibious vehicles.
Vehicles can include anything from rafts, rowboats, aircraft carriers, submarines, or even special helicopters that can go underwater.
Despite the name, Gunboat Diplomacy does not go here — it refers to the use of displays of strength to intimidate others into doing things your way, and is named after a real-life trend of using fleets for this purpose.
