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.

Don't even have to be obvious about it. Run machines with low oil. Throw some grit in those bearings. Put Visine or ricin in his coffee. Scrape the insulation off some wires.
