I believe the old saying in the navy is “A ship can carry a boat, but a boat can’t carry a ship”.

  I heard "boats go under the water and ships go on the water."

    Maybe it's best read as not mutually exclusive. There seem to be ships that can also carry ships.

    But that's a ship carrying a ship, or did I miss something?
