I guess that would be “assault” recreational watercraft parts.

There is speculation that such a device/vehicle was used to remotely detonate the explosive device in the truck which exploded on the Crimean Bridge.
Seen pictures and slow motion videos of such a claim.
Not entirely convinced but it is plausible.

Ghost boat. Sounds just as absurd as ghost gun, no?

Hmmm, they must have 63Bs in their Army, too.

It was the truck bomb, on the road.
A water-level attack MIGHT have taken out a pier, at water level, (MIGHT, depending on amount of explosive, configuration, placement, etc.), but the damage clearly was from above, to the roadway, and the side-flash of the elevated explosion ignited the tanker cars on the adjoining RR bridge.
In my younger days as a UDT/SEAL, I have been on the beach and in the water with small groups that, combined, blew up tons and tons of C-4 and TNT, any way you can imagine. Including making our own shaped charges, platter charges, etc. From little one-pound devices to a ton at a time. Often using high explosives in industrial quantities as a raw material, for custom applications (in training only.)
I just mention the above as bona fides. I know what I’m talking about.

See 12.
I have no doubt the Ukrainians are moving down many parallel lines attempting to take out that bridge and other naval and infrastructure targets on the Black Sea.
But last week’s bridge blast was a truck bomb on the roadway.

“But last week’s bridge blast was a truck bomb on the roadway.”
Yeah, my current take, as well.
I just mentioned what I did cause it was/is part of many speculations that exist.

Don’t know about y’all, but “Ukraine built this” was totally my first thought when I saw a picture of a professionally manufactured drone bomb with no identifying markings. Didn’t think CIA for a second.

At the top of the list, but requiring a state actor to back it (way beyond Ukraine's capability) are UUVs.
But even while they are great for attacking an unprotected very long pipeline, a target like the Crimea Bridge will have every kind of underwater defenses. Mini-subs won't get anywhere near it. And the only nation that would even try it, in the Black Sea, is the US Navy, and they would not risk having frogmen captured or killed and displayed.
