In northern Europe, the Scottish navy was the first navy to mount heavy guns on ships. James IV mounted several heavy guns in one or more of his ships during his war with Donald Dubh MacDonald beginning in 1504; in 1506 the castle of Stornoway was battered into submission. It seems likely that Stornoway and the castle of Cairn-na-Burgh (surrendered 1504) were both fired upon from the sea; Carin-na-Burgh in particular is isolated a mile from the nearest land. The Michael, built for the Scottish navy beginning in 1506, was designed from the start to carry 12 guns on each side and three bronze basilisks (very heavy cannon).

During WWII, the Japanese destroyer Yukikaze gained such a reputation for being a lucky ship that the crews of other Japanese ships started to see her as a bad omen. Because while Yukikaze would frequently emerge from battle effectively unscathed and had several lucky escapes from damage, the ships around her were frequently sunk in disproportionate numbers, with heavy casualties, or in very unfortunate or infamous circumstances. While she was known to her own crew as the "miracle ship," others referred to her as the "god of death" or the "plague god." Postwar she was transferred to the Republic of China, where her curse may have played a role in the death of Chiang Kai-Shek. Don't quote me on that last part though, I need to do some more research on that.
