(With video) Ship launches can be spectacular to watch, perhaps even more so when they do not happen according to plan.

The Sea Lad compiled a number of ship launches gone wrong in the video below. Let's hope the people involved have learned a lot from them.

Picture: Luckily, most ship launches happen without incident, here the U.S.Navy littoral combat ship USS Little Rock (LCS-9) is launched into the Menominee River in Marinette, Wisconsin (USA), on 18 July 2015.
