Sisterships colliding with each other seems to be a thing. Though here, none of them sunk.
Now I know why Uranami is so close to Isonami.
For any number of reasons sister vessels tended to be grouped together tactically, so if they were going to collide with another ship those they routinely operated in close proximity to during high speed, complex maneuvers were the most probable.
How close is Miyuki with her littlest sister Inazuma?
