Fire Ships Vessels loaded with combustibles and explosives, steered toward enemy fleets to set them ablaze.

Fire Dragon Issuing from the Water original: "Huolong Chushui." This is one of the earliest known examples of a two-stage rocket. It used booster rockets to travel across the water's surface before igniting secondary rockets that shot out of the dragon's mouth toward the target.

Dragon King Cannon of the Sea Bed original: "Shuidi Longwang Pao." A primitive naval mine made of a wooden or iron case, weighted to submerge and triggered by a long fuse protected by a goat's intestine.
