in 2009: 688i boat USS Hartford (SSN 768) pulling into Bahrain after colliding with amphibious transport dock ship New Orleans (LPD-18) in the Strait of Hormuz. $120 million to straighten that up.

I joked with one of the chiefs asking if their moto โdamn the torpedoes, full speed ahead!โ Was made up before or after the incident. He was not amused.

Three guys with torches and a crane straightening out the sail itself: $375,000
Finding out that you have to replace all of the periscopes: $119,500,000
Your career: ๐ฉ
