I believe it's called the figurehead/bowsprit. [This is a more *modest* example.]

Their first try was a miss, so they looped back for another shot.

They looped back AFTER the collision. The notion that a lumbering cargo ship could intentionally target and rap a U.S. Navy destroyer is rucking fidiculous.

Heed your tagline.
