SHIP: The Leviathan is outfitted with a serrated metal edge upon its keel. It has Advantage on checks to break through ice or other obstacles that it encounters head-on.
Sinkable.

Whenever SHIP: The Leviathan starts its turn with 50 hit points or fewer, it is actively sinking and must make DC 10 Constitution saves every turn. If SHIP: The Leviathan has 0 hit points, it automatically fails its saving throws to avoid sinking. On a failed save, one of the ships decks is completely filled with water. If all the decks are filled, the ship has sunk and drops to 0 hit points.

Repairing the ship so that it has more than 50 hit points stops the checks or saves but does not remove any water. If at least half of SHIP: The Leviathan’s minimum crew spend an action bailing over two turns, they can restore a ship’s deck. Some magics may be able to remove water from a deck, at the DM’s discretion.

Actions

Multiattack. SHIP: The Leviathan attacks five times with its cannons. All the cannons must be on the same side of the ship.
Broadside Cannons. Ranged Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, range 150/600 ft., one target. Hit: 12 (2d10 + 1) bludgeoning damage. If the target is in front of or behind the ship, the attack automatically misses.
Ramming Attack. Melee Weapon Attack: +8 to hit, reach 0 ft., one target. Hit: 35 (7d8 + 4) piercing damage plus 9 (2d8) slashing damage. This attack can only be made after a move action of at least 45 feet, and can only target creatures or objects in the water or directly at the water’s edge.

Reactions

Broadside Retort. If SHIP: The Leviathan is hit by enemy cannon fire from the side which did not fire the cannons on its previous turn, it can immediately make a multiattack against that enemy.
