| rdfs:comment | - Krake-Toa is a naval tramper who appeared in the episodes Ghosts (as a cameo) and Munitions. At the start of the episode, she is being loaded with munitions and taking fuel at the same time, a dangerous practice. Due to fuel drums falling onto explosives and a spark from Bluenose's stack after the latter hit Zorran's barge, the dock caught fire, thus setting off the explosives and fuel that had been taken aboard her. Since she was nearly fully loaded, her cargo did indeed "rip her apart" as Zorran predicted, and she was destroyed and duly sunk.

She is named after the equally explosive volcano 'Krakatoa', which exploded in 1883 and caused much disturbance in the global climate for a while afterwards.
