You may be looking for Cyber Ship.
A cyber-ship approaching Nerva Beacon. (DW: Revenge of the Cybermen)

A cyber-ship was a craft used by Cybermen. A group of Cybermen used one such craft when they journeyed to Nerva Beacon. While in flight, they maintained contact with their agent, Kellman, through radio communications.

After setting the beacon on a collision course with Voga, the Cybermen left in the ship. Captain Stevenson, following the Fourth Doctor's directions, redirected the rocket Skystriker into the craft, destroying it. (DW: Revenge of the Cybermen)
