I believe newtons third law would come into play on a direct hit. The titanic would have been hit back with as much pressure as it put on the iceberg. F= mass x acc. So a ship that heavy moving 20 knots would put a hella amount of pressure on the front. Thus causing the ship to crush like an accordian

plenty of documentation of smaller ships and even subs ramming larger ships in WWII, and not sinking, hard to say what the mass of the berg was though, probably bigger then because of no global warming
