'''Cannon Ship''' is the [[Monkey Buccaneer (BTD6)|Monkey Buccaneer]]'s path 2 tier 3 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. It replaces its dart [[attack]] with bombs that explode on contact, dealing [[damage]] in an area and spawning 8 sharp frags that fly in all directions, and it increases the damage of its [[Grape Shot (BTD6)|Grape Shot]] from 1 to 2. The bomb attack has a 30% longer [[attack cooldown|cooldown]] (meaning its [[attack speed]] is ~23% slower), ~~but it~~ can damage up to 28 [[Bloon]]s at a time with the explosion (35 ~~if [[crosspath]]ed~~ with [[Long Range (BTD6)|Long Range]]). Its frags can each pop 1 Bloon (2 ~~if crosspathed~~ with Long Range ~~Darts~~), ~~and~~ their [[pierce]] cannot be [[buff]]ed.

Its frags can each pop 1 Bloon (2 with Long Range), their [[pierce]] and [[damage]] cannot be [[buff]]ed, and do not hit the same target they bursted from.

==Strategy==

Cannon Ship is a relatively cost-effective early group-popping option, being a cheaper alternative for [[Destroyer (BTD6)|Destroyer]] (mainly for CT Least Cash/Tiers, and Boss Rush if needing to deal Boss damage and defend simultaneously). The bombs deal plenty of damage to groups, and grapes deal improved single-target damage. However, its lack of single-target damage makes it somewhat weak to {{BTD6|Ceramic Bloon}}s and [[MOAB-Class Bloon]]s. Like most Buccaneers, it's recommended to position Cannon Ship such that it attacks from both sides. Try to place it closer to the track so its grapes and bombs hit reliably, as its lack of darts makes it more prone to missing spaced Bloons.

{{BTD6|Faster Shooting|Monkey Buccaneer}} is recommended in most situations for general gameplay and stronger single-target damage, while {{BTD6|Long Range}} is preferred in [[Race (BTD6)|Race]] scenarios for increased grape and frag pierce. {{BTD6|Double Shot|Monkey Buccaneer}} is generally unnecessary due to only adding 1 grape, and {{BTD6|Crow's Nest}} is recommended if innate [[Camo Bloon (BTD6)|Camo]] detection is desired.

*Oddly, upgrading a Cannon Ship to 1-3-0 also changes the color of its barrels' rims. This is likely an oversight as only the x-x-1 upgrade changes this aspect.
