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

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

Here’s another one:

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

Why do people who were very kind and loving once become cold-hearted?

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