Does the verb "cleave" work here? Is this sentence that I have written okay? The bow of this massive titan of a ship cleaves slowly through the vast blue sea. I feel like it can be expressed better.

I think that your sentence is OK, but that it would work better with "its way" added: The bow of this massive titan of a ship cleaves its way slowly through the vast blue sea.
