The Bebop%27s ship class was originally designed as an interplanetary fishing trawler. It would load up on fish from the seas of Ganymede and transport it to other planets. The engines on the Bebop were supposedly replaced with larger ones when Jet first bought it. Speaking of Jet%2C his personal craft%2C the Hammerhead%2C was likely designed for similar purposes given it%27s ability to make water landings and complete lack of weapons aside from a Harpoon launcher and towing cable.
