''Ship's Boat Skill: '' An individual with this training is familiar with the function and operation of small interplanetary craft collectively known as ship's boats. These craft range in size from five to 100 tons, and include [[shuttle]]s, [[lifeboat]]s, [[launch]]es, ship's boats, and [[fighter]]s. The small interplanetary craft carried as auxiliaries or boats on larger ships, or serving the needs of bases and stations, are distinctly different from the large vessels which ply the [[space lane]]s. Ship's boat expertise reflects a distinct experience and training in the operation of these craft. {{Page cite|name= Characters and Combat|page=21|version=Classic Traveller}}
