What ships, in fiction, have you...been moved by its 'death'? The notable one for me is the Going Merry's death and funeral in One Piece.

Not sure if it counts as a ship, but Babylon 5's destruction was very well done.
The E-A also ranks up there. Kirk's last look around the bridge said it all.

You mean the E-nil. Though I agree, it's incomparable.

The Caravel used by the Straw Hats Pirate Crew from the end of the Kuro Arc to the CP9 Arc. She became part of the crew and actually gained a 'soul', and wanted to take the crew further. Her viking funeral is in the links I gave.

Her Keel was broken, making her beyond repair, but even so she rescued her crew and escaped from the World Government Navy at Enies Lobby, before nearly breaking in half.

Homeworld 1's destruction of Higara and the shipyards moved me.

I also got goosebumps when the ship in Independence Day blew up from the guy crashing into the super weapon. Also got them when I destroyed the Lucifer in Descent: Freespace.

Outside sci-fi, the sinking of the RMS Titanic.

Inside sci-fi, I have to go with the loss of the 1701 in Star Trek III.

If we're talking real ships, then I'll go with the last battle of HMS Revenge, off the Azores.

Ship after ship, the whole night long, their high-built galleons came,
Ship after ship, the whole night long, with her battle-thunder and flame;
Ship after ship, the whole night long, drew back with her dead and her shame.
For some were sunk and many were shatter'd, and so could fight us no more -
God of battles, was ever a battle like this in the world before?

Yeha, that's serious business there. I like that even after being captured, she killed even more Spaniards by sinking.
