Some of the most notorious are the explosion of the battleship USS Maine (ACR-1), on February 15th ,1898, in Havana in peace time and the sinking of three English battlecruisers during the Battle of Jutland on May 31 ,1916. Most of the events sparked careful investigations with different explanations for the incidents. However, a possible linkage between the events could be the Britain made gunpowder of that time, since all Navies who encountered fatal explosions, the Royal Navy, the Italian Navy (Regia Marina),the Imperial Japanese Navy and the United States Navy, used those gunpowder, whereas other nations, using mostly German made gunpowder, suffered none such losses.
