49. Gunship. The Gunship, basically, combines the moves of the Ship and the Cannon. The Ship moves one square diagonally, from which point it may continue directly forward or backward like a Rook; the Cannon moves like a Rook, but can only capture if it jumps over an intervening piece.
I couldn't find the proper Betza for the ship, but [F?fqR]mRcpR will be converted in the Interactive Diagram setup.
The best use for this would probably be as a potential promotion piece for a Ship, though it could also be something in a large-board game where other pieces have to be moved out of the way before it can be brought out.
Of course the piece itself is just a Ship with a big ol' cannon stuck on it.
