Atlantis added another to the list last night- the Phoenix ramming a Wraith Hive Ship (and taking out two others with the explosion).

Hmm. Nobody's yet mentioned the Original BSG episode "Fire in Space" where the Cylons had some of their Raiders pull kamikaze blows on the Galactica, leaving a big portion of the ship ablaze and the bridge crippled. Of course, being an expensive show, the bridge-kamikaze attack was filmed using lots of stock footage, but it was an interesting idea to have the Galactica crippled in that manner: the rest of the episode was nothing but damage control with stranded groups trying to be rescued while Starbuck, Apollo & Apollo's then-girlfriend Sheba struggling to put out the fires in one of the Viper landing bays.
