<< A Sphere of Annihillation destroys that which it hits. This could be
 taken to mean that it would only zap the individual boards (on a wooden
 ship) it hits, however, the desrtuction is accomplished by sucking the
 destroyed thing into it. This would inevitably draw in more boards, so
 I'd say that the ship is destroyed if hit, as would everything below
 decks. People above decks are not, and if I was feeling nice, people
 below decks would get a save vs. Death to get out in time. OTOH, if I
 was feeling nice, I wouldn't have used a Sphere of Annihilation in the
 first place, would I? >>
This is an interesting ruling, but it makes Spheres superkill weapons.  I
would rule it as doing twice the damage of a disentegration spell.  That's
just my humble opnion
