Ironclads could certainly be a possibility I guess. And I forget that not all Pegasi are like Dash. Although many can make tornadoes which is certainly a dangerous ability.

@TheLoneLampman  
If you’re going to bring up sight gags, you should remember that they are under something of a compulsion not to make sense, or to follow the physics of the setting.
 
@Applelight Limited  
Oh, I’m not denying that the ponies are strong, but they aren’t as strong as you’re implying.
 
Not on a regular basis, anyway. Rainbow is explicitly an unusually capable pony and Poundcake was implied to have super strength, even by the standards of the setting.
 
We haven’t seen pony warships, but they have the technology to be using ironsides rather than using just wooden ships. Pegasi and unicorn forces also imply that blitzkrieg tactics and magic usage are important, so ships may be more along the lines of carriers than destroyers.

And I think one of the cake twins smashed a metal bath tap clean off.
 
I know it’s a cartoon with cartoon physics in full effect but it’s something that has to be taken into consideration.
 
I’m glad actually. It means that the super strong pony on my crew can bend metal and smash through concrete walls and it’s believable.

She managed to fly into the trunk of a tree and her eyeballs pierced through it.
 
Just worth a mention.

@Sjogre  
Whilst we can probably put this one down to a one of rule of cool/funny gag, ponies are still capable of smashing wood to bits quite easily. Case in point, RD attacking this barn before Twilight showed up, including biting a plank off. I could easily see her smashing big holes in a ship too, rendering it liable to sink.

Mmmn. The incident with the barn was either an unreplicateably high showing or a special technique, as she fails to replicate it later. Even allowing for the fact that she partly dismantled it before hand, lesser impacts have disabled her since then, and she’s never shown that kind of force elsewhere.

@Prof.NightJack  
I understand now. Apologies.

@Applelight Limited  
Case in point, I have uploaded over 400 image, only one is tagged with me as the artist, and image I myself drew.

@Applelight Limited  
No, you only tag yourself the artist when you are the artist, if you didn’t draw thew image at all and just post it then you don’t.

@Prof.NightJack  
I thought when you posted something you had to put your name to it?
 
If not, my bad. I’ll tag the tag off.

>artist:applelight limited  
How are you the artist?  
It’s just a screenshot with text!
