I was wondering if there are any shmups where the player is a ship? as in a ship in water not a spaceship.

In the hunt is the best. There are several others with subs but i don t have the names that come as vividly as In The Hunt. That game was fantastic having the pcb at home "for test purpose" it was really hard to let it go to its final owner T-T

If you play with the tank, there's a part in Firepower 2000/Super SWIV where you must play a stage with a boat/ship or something like that.

X-Out was the game that immediately sprang to mind http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WeEmfFdyLlM but yes, In the hunt is a good example. There's also Blood Money on the Amiga and Harpooned.

Non-submarine ship games:

D-Day (Jaleco, arcade, 1984) vert that gives you a crosshair to move as well. Kinda interesting in that respect.
The Deep (Woodplace, arcade, 1987)

Armed Police Batrider, using Gain and a secret trick.

I don't remember what the trick was though, but it often makes me wonder what kind of implications such would have...
