For the second alien war, X-COM makes use of amphibious flying ships that are capable of intercepting enemy ships and transporting troops around the world. These flying-subs are as quick and versatile as the ships used in the first alien war, but can also operate underwater.
Due to undisclosed reasons, X-COM flying-subs are forbidden from engaging enemy ships in air-to-air combat while flying over land.
