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.

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

Here’s another one:

Trump said we don't need Canada's lumber. So a good incentive and subsidy to compete against the highly subsidized Canadian lumber industry for home construction is needed. What would Canadians do when they have no one to export their timber to?

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