I think it has happened, although most of the time I believe the usual action was to have them abandon the ship and then scuttle it, if they think they can't get it safely back to port. During the Atlantic convoys, I think crippled ships were regularly abandoned, because it was critical the cargo get through and they couldn't wait or risk other ships by waiting.

I don't think it would happen with a captial ship of any sort. While there is plenty of footage of the sinking US carriers, I don't think there is any recorded history of capital ships being abandoned by their escorts.
Although I have sunk the Yamato in the exact same circumstances in SH1  I don't think the Bismark's demise counts, as it was never really abandoned as much as sent out alone KBK |
