Naval ramming can work despite endangering the attacking ship

What naval-history example best fits the idea that a tactic is not foolish if it works?

Ramming, because a deliberate collision can decide an action even though it may leave the attacking ship unable to return safely.

Naval ramming is a tactic that appears foolish but can work. Deliberately crashing into another vessel resembles hazardous dodgems at sea and exposes the attacking ship to severe damage. The collision can nevertheless produce the intended tactical result. Ramming is not presented as normally prudent; it illustrates how immediate battlefield effect and the attacker's ability to return safely can point in opposite directions.
