I have seen plenty of ships run into each other but they were either friendly or netural. But there was this one time in Freetown (African west coast) when a DD tring to get to me crashed at flank speed into the dock breaking the ship in half but the bow of the ship did manage to get into the water on the other side of the dock. That was interesting to say the least.
