The Captain, and maybe others, are finished.

Close enough to collide, close enough for a hostile suicide ship to disable the carrier indefinitely.

Are there tight situations, like in a port, where a smaller ship can suddenly start to move into an unavoidable collision?

Let’s hold off a while. An aircraft carrier cannot turn on a dime, is really big so its not like the other ship didn’t see it. It would not surprise me that the “other ship” was one step from the scrap yard and wanted to see if they could get an insurance claim. Youtube is full of videos of ships that intentionally set up collisions. From an automotive analogy, think of the car that for no reason brakes hard to see if the car behind them runs into them.

Those days are over for at least four years.
