There are cases of ships accidents with significant damage to the hulls when they follow parallel courses at a relatively small distance from each other. For example, the collision of the passenger ship “Olympic” with the cruiser “Hawk” (1921), “Queen Mary” with the cruiser “Curacao” (1942). The reason of such accidents is usually explained by the attraction forces of “suction” arising from the approach of the ships (in accordance with the Bernoulli equation [1,2]), that is doubtful taking into account the serious damage to the hulls.
