Although the Ann McKim was the first large clipper ship ever constructed, it cannot be said that she founded the clipper ship era, or even that she directly influenced shipbuilders, since no other ship was built like her ; but she may have suggested the clipper design in vessels of ship rig.

Submarines have one of the largest ranges of capabilities in any vessel, ranging from small autonomous examples to one-or two-person vessels operating for a few hours, to vessels which can remain submerged for 6 months such as the Russian Typhoon class-the biggest submarines ever built and in use.

There are currently orders for four new vessels which are being built and would be handed over mid to late 2010. They have now arrived named: Carnival Runner, Calypso sprinter, Paria Bullet and the Trini Flash
