What is the funniest shipwreck?

the three that I thought of were the

North Korean Destroyer Kang Kon

Russian auxiliary vessel Kamchatka

SS Principessa Jolanda

I would include the Kuznetsov, but it has somehow failed to sink so far

Apparently Hermann Goering was a model train enthusiast

He had an O gauge layout in his house, both in his basement and his attic. he had a mechanism where he could drop wooden bombs onto his layout for fun. they layouts were apparently destroyed when he destroyed his own house to prevent it's capture.

do not let this fool you. he was still a horrible person who oversaw the murder of thousands, but he was a train enthusiast.

Hot take: CSS Georgia was the worst warship ever built.

CSS Georgia was an ironclad warship built in Savannah, Georgia during the American Civil War. The Ladies' Gunboat Association raised $115,000 for her construction. Because of a lack of iron, her armor was made from repurposed rails. as a result, she was very very very heavy. she could barely move or steer on her own, and never saw combat.

What makes this even better is that at the end of the war, she was scuttled to prevent the union from "using it". what they could have used it for i have no idea.

Long shot, but are there any good 3d printing models of RMS Lusitania?

 am trying to print it in about 1/200 scale, but most of the ones i can find are either low quality or absurdly expensive.

This is what i came up with

Main guns: Bismarck (faster reload via cartridge rounds)
Layout: 3x3 turrets (honestly just better)
Bridge: Bismarck (arbitrary, just because i think it looks cool)
Rangefinders: Iowa (stayed combat relevant for decades without replacement, and american radars during WW2 were great)
Turrets: Iowa (more so the armor on them)
Armor scheme: KGV (it worked for prince of Wales during Denmark strait)
Stern: Iowa (not Bismarck for obvious reasons)
Bow: Yamato (generates a lot of freeboard. Bulbous bow)
Secondary guns: Iowa (need i explain more?)
AA guns: Iowa (German and Japanese AA guns ended up being lackluster especially the 37mm)
Funnel: Littorio (arbitrary because i think it looks nice)
Propellers: Littorio (4 propellers would make the ship steer via propellers, something that may have saved Bismarck)

notably this aircraft was responsible for 939 deaths, including 28 high ranking soviet military personnel in one single accident in 1981. it seems to have a reputation.
