The ship armor class is an armor class in Age of Empires II. All units that have an attack bonus against this class deal bonus damage against units with this armor class. Fishing Ships are the only ships without this armor class, as they have their own armor class.

Before The African Kingdoms, ships shared an armor class with camels. There are many camel counters that deal bonus damage against ships, because the bonus damage against the ship class was not taken away when the new camel armor class was introduced.
