I've seen pictures from a 1960s incident where a german navy F-104G Starfighter hit the water during a strafing run on a target vessel and became airborne again.
The pilot made a successful landing after that.
But of course the Starfighter just skipped the water like a stone at high speed and with the fuselage only.
There's photos of that incident on the web somewhere but I can't find them right now.
