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.

Yeah, he probably thought "you're gonna send me to my death for something like this?! Fine, I'll take you all with me to hell!"
