Well, historically speaking, ramming was a bad idea. Some
people thought that it was the only feasible way to get
through the armor of an ironclad, and they may have been
right at the time. They underestimated how hard it is to
hit[1], and what damage this does to the ramming ship.
So there could be rules for a cinematic ram, which does
more damage and suffers less reciprocal damage.
Or I made some mistake, forgot some optional rule in
Greece or Imperial Rome. Did I?

[1] Does the Victoria-Camperdown-incident prove how easy
it was to ram, or how hard it is to maneuver a ship?
