Were there any friendly fire incidents involving American submarines, aircraft carriers, or battleships during World War II or World War I?

Oh yeah. These kinds of incidents are quite common even in modern war, let alone back then.

Here’s another one:

USS Pompano was mistakenly bombed by aircraft from USS Enterprise but managed to escape.

What do you think of the Black history lessons in the PBS documentary about jazz pianist-singer Hazel Scott?

USS Tang pictured above, was an ace US submarine… until she literally sank herself with a circular running torpedo.
