when i shoot the cannon, how do i make the cannon shoot from mob/Ships/ship1 instead of the mob the player is playing ?
(meaning the cannonball comes out from mob/Ships/ship1

Well, one way would be that the usr has a variable that knows what ship he's in at all times. Then instead of having the cannonball start at his location(IE: (usr.loc)) have in start out in the variables location. So say mob/var/Ship is the variable to store the ship in. So it may look something like this.

        shoot()
            var/obj/S=usr.Ship//Represent S as the Ship the user is in
            var/obj/cannonball/B = new/obj/cannonball(S.loc)//Make the cannon ball at the ships location instead
            B.own = usr
            walk(B,usr.dir)
            sleep(10)
            del(B)
