Well in the naval battles in Syracusae Thukidides says that ships prows were reinforced with wooden beams and thats the reason why Syracusans got the better of the Athenians. And Thukidides had seen action so he knows what is he talking about.
Also execept ramming oar shearing during "diekplous" was an important tactic.
Kind regards
