In {{date|348|PC}}, Telsin used the Pewternaut A16 as a backup method of bringing a powerful bomb from Bilming to Elendel after the original rocket-based system failed to work.{{book ref|mb7|66}} Using the Pewternaut meant that the bomb could not be blocked by train or road closures, the boat was also set on a straight course to Elendel, and set up so that if brought off course, the bomb would detonate. Despite this, [[Wax]] and [[Wayne]] were able to prevent the bomb from properly detonating, at the cost of Wayne's life. This also destroyed the ship.{{book ref|mb7|69}}{{book ref|mb7|71}}
The Pewternaut is described as something analogous in nearly every way to the real-life ship sub-class of battleship starting with ''HMS Dreadnought,'' which possessed 5 twin 12-inch naval artillery guns at the exact same speed. Given the increased weight in naval guns at the same speed, it can be speculated that the first Pewternaut(s) were built with less protection.
