Slightly off topic, but never mind. There are stories (possibily of the salty sea dog variety) about RN vessels that didn't sail straight.
There was a T42 that got severely damaged in a collision with a fleet auxilliary. It got T-barred after the post RAS break off manoeuvre (which the captain intended to be a showy, racey departure) went wrong. Rather than scrap it (they'd never get a replacement paid for by Treasury) the RN had it repaired, but apparently it was never quite the same again.
There was also apparently a Leander class frigate that got bent during high speed bomb dodging manoeuvres in San Carlos Water in the Falklands. With it being a war they'd been allowed to disable the engine governors, and those steam plants had a lot of excess power. Moving a ship at high speed in shallow water puts a tremendous load on the hull due to the powerful venturi effect with the sea bed, and even stranger things happen in high speed turns. Better a bent ship than a bomb coming through the sides. I got this off a friend who'd been on it at the time.
