Early 1970s USS Halfbeak came into Subase Pier 11 (IIRC) too fast and hit the sea wall at the head of the pier. Bow Buoyancy was bent over nearly 90 degrees.
Halfbeak was approaching end of life, so the Bow Buoyancy was cut off. Now unsafe to submerge, she provided target services until decommissioned - no submerging!
We all called her the NoBeak until she was scrapped
