Were there any friendly fire incidents involving American submarines, aircraft carriers, or battleships during World War II or World War I?

Oh yeah. These kinds of incidents are quite common even in modern war, let alone back then.

Here’s another one:

USS Tang pictured above, was an ace US submarine… until she literally sank herself with a circular running torpedo.

Why doesn't California have the tools, people, means to put out these fires even though they know there will be fires every year?

USS Pompano was mistakenly bombed by aircraft from USS Enterprise but managed to escape.
