The event, as it happens, did not occur. The BB Haruna lasted more or less until the end of the war. Readers should not try this with real aircraft that they are piloting. Battleships are not built that way.

after a quick search through the series, looks like I'm wrong, nothing mentioned against suicide by the Church in Safehold that I can find!

Yep. So the Safeholdians probably did not have European aversion to the idea of deliberate sacrifice for noble purpose. Which means, that if things went really bad, Charisians would not have much problem asking for volunteers, capable of guiding bomb to the end.
P.S. Actually, it may be quite... interesting plot element. Especially for Merlin, who is Christian. It would be really interesting to see, say, Cayleb & Merlin beliefs really clashes, because Cayleb would not see anything particularly outrageous with the idea of voluntary kamikaze (if the situation is dire enough, of course), but for Merlin it actually WOULD be outrageous.
