Reading about ammonia as a ship fuel gives me strong Ignition! vibes.
For those not familiar, Ignition!: An Informal History of Liquid Rocket Propellants by John Drury Clark goes into detail about all the different things aerospace engineers have tried,
including some incredibly dangerous combinations.

but the tendency towards disastrous results makes it impractical".
