Ironfist
From Warhammer - The Old World - Lexicanum
Ironfists are converted Imperial War Galleys mounting huge mortars in the Imperial Navy of the Empire. [1a]
They are designed to be used against coastal and river towns and cities, seldom venturing out to sea. Should they take part in a naval action, they are usually screened by other vessels as they are able to fire over the defending vessels. [1a] [2]
Although primarily a Empire warship, other nations also use them as they are extremely effective in any siege near a river. [2]
Notable

Weapons and Equipment
The ship is armed with a single huge mortar. [1a]
