All military sea-going craft, and all that contained within it, tomorrow, with all of its normal personnel, appeared on an ocean world?

All artificial islands go as well. This include oil platforms and all that jive. The oil fields located under such oil platforms have been reimbursed by abiogenic generation, and have an unlimited amount of oil.
Anyone? Anyone? Don't make me add in mutant sharks.
