A boat can be taken onboard a ship, but not the other way around.

In teh navy we never referred to subs as ships but either boats or pigs or
subs. When I was studying to become a deck officer with the merchant navy, I
was once berated by an 'ancient mariner' who stated categorically that a
modern container liner isn't a ship; a ship is a type of rig where all the
masts carried square sails. Then he was probably biased.
