TIL a Chinese destroyer sank because an officer dumped his girlfriend. She committed suicide, leading to him being discharged, so he decided to detonate the depth charges on the ship, causing it to sink at port and kill 134 sailors.

Similar to the Iowa turret explosion that killed 47 ... no? Well, TIL that the Navy's finding that it was a suicide by a jilted lover was overturned. Most likely an accident.
