The U.S. Navy heavy cruiser USS Pittsburgh (CA-72) en route to Guam for temporary repairs, shortly after she lost her bow in a typhoon on 5 June 1945.

USS New Orleands (CA-32) after being hit by several japanese torpedoes during the battle of Tassafaronga. She lost everything ahead of turret number 2. More than a quarter of her length had gone including turret number 1. 180+ of her crew got killed in this hit. After the battle she sailed with only 2kn to Tulagi harbor, were here crew jury-rigged a new bow out of coconut logs, so the ship could move on to sydney to have a temporary bow fitted. The ship then crossed the pacific to the Puget sound naval yards. During her trip to sydney and later to the US it sailed backward!



Anyone said coconut bow?



By the way, during the same battle her sister ship, the USS Minneapolis, lost her bow as well.
