Unless you invent force fields, no bridge was surviving thatYou donβt need force fields, Background Human mentioned there are other engineering solutions available (such as dolphins and fenders, and probably others) to prevent a ship hitting a bridge from taking the whole thing down by dampening the impact.
I did some math and at 9mph and 175k tons the amount of energy to stop the ship in 100 feet (rough estimate) is about 3.06 x 10^10 Joules, or the explosive equivalent of almost 10 GBU-28B 5000lb bunker buster bombs. Back of the envelope, but that gives you an idea of the order of magnitude.
10B lb*ft/s is roughly the same as getting hit by a fully loaded tractor trailer traveling at four times the escape velocity needed to reach orbit

, wings
, and spread wings
would all be found by a search for wing
, but sewing
would not be.
