Missile ships have that.

Now you’re telling me that this flag ship of the Black sea fleet somehow caught on fire “accidently” and the sailors didn’t know how to put it out, so it sank?

Check out the UK Daily Mail on the late SS Moskva. It shows the ship halfway between Odessa and Crimea when the two Neptunes were shot at it from Odessa. Ukrainian drones were also harassing and distracting the Moskva's defenses. These missiles traveled about 24 miles to hit the Moskva

The city of Odessa provided plenty of cover for the units that fired the Neptunes. Odessa is now on fake Tsar Pooty's shit list and better prepare for bombings and invasion.......

Russian Telegram accounts with links to the Wagner Group claim Bayraktar drones were used to distract the Moskva's radar systems before a coastal battery opened fire somewhere near Odesa, hitting the ship with two Neptune missiles

Unlikely that it caught on fire accidentally.
Point is though that a hit by even a relatively small missile could perforate those thin missile tubes and set off their contents. Warheads on these Neptun missiles are just 330 lb.
