USN:
Clemson-class destroyer USS Farragut (DD-300), photographed at the time of a fatal gun accident on board, January 1926. The photograph's original caption (which does not completely fit the image) reads: One sailor was killed and seven other members of the forward four-inch gun crew received minor injuries as a result of the premature explosion of the gun during battle torpedo practice off Point Loma, California, January 1926. The gun is in the centre, foreground.
Tugs help guide the battleship USS Colorado (BB-45) into drydock at the Brooklyn Navy Yard (Also known as the New York Navy Yard) in May of 1927.
The Colorado class battleship was undergoing inspection for damages received after she ran aground on the Diamond Reef on May 1st. Luckily, help arrived quickly and the battleship was refloated the following day, though it took over a dozen tug boats to pull her back into deeper water.

Australia:
N class destroyer HMAS Nestor, one of the five ships of this class which served in the Royal Australian Navy during the Second World War. 1941
Commissioned in February 1941, Nestor was attached to the Home Fleet and was engaged in convoy escort and patrol duties. She was with the escort for HM Ships Victorious and King George during the hunt for the German Battleship Bismarck but was short of fuel and was diverted to Iceland for refuelling. As a result Nestor was not present when Bismarck was sunk in the North Atlantic on 29 May 1941. During subsequent convoy in the Mediterranean escort duties, Nestor sighted the German V-Boat U127 and in a depth-charge attack destroyed the submarine with the sinking officially credited. Then followed duty with the Eastern Fleet in the Indian Ocean before being ordered back to the Mediterranean. Nestor then became part of the powerful escort for a Malta-bound convoy. As a result of a convoy from Gibraltar reaching Malta, Nestor's convoy was ordered back to the Alexandria and on the way was subject to intense air attacks during which Nestor was straddled by bombs and severely damaged and sunk by an accompanying destroyer. Nestor was the only major ship in the RAN never to visit Australia.
On 12 June 1942, Nestor sailed from Haifa as part of the large escort force for Operation Vigorous, a Malta Convoy consisting of 11 merchant ships carrying food, fuel, and supplies for the besieged island. Air harassment of the convoy began almost immediately after leaving port. During the afternoon of 15 June, the convoy received word that a second convoy (Operation Harpoon) sailing from the west had successfully arrived, and based on the quantity of air attacks and intelligence that an Italian fleet was in the area, it was decided to return the Vigorous convoy to Alexandria
According to one source, at around 18:00, while off Crete, an Italian bomber attacked Nestor, killing four sailors and seriously damaging the destroyer's engine rooms. Other sources assert the attack was carried out by Junkers Ju 87 dive bombers from Sturzkampfgeschwader 3. HMS Javelin began to tow Nestor, but by 05:30 on 16 June, the quantity of water taken on by the Australian ship meant that recovery was no longer practical. The ship's company transferred to Javelin, and Nestor was scuttled with depth charges.
