Yes, Ferdinand Magellan ordered the burning of one of his ships, the Santiago, in 1520. This decision was made after the ship suffered damage during a storm in the Strait of Magellan. The burning was intended to prevent the ship from falling into enemy hands and to ensure the safety of the remaining fleet as they continued their expedition.
