I reckon.
Have a look at the HMS Nottingham incident down here at Lord Howe Island in 2002.
The Captain was known to be a bit of a social animal and had left the ship in the charge of an inexperienced junior officer.
It took a Dutch heavy lift ship to eventually get it home - and then a mere 39 million to fix it.
A most expensive embarrassment.
