I know people have joked about having a kamakazie bomber ship. With a clone and insurance there really isn't much "damage" to the bomber anyway.
But imagine this. A kamakazie ship where you COULD do alot of damage to an enemy ship, maybe even blow it up.
But theres a catch. You would LOSE skills when you do it (blow yourself up). Clones wouldn't help. Also the suicide bomber ship would be expensive (say 20m). The skills to fly the kamakazie ship would be high enough to insure griefers don't gain possession of the ship. Also you could only use the ship on a corporation or alliance your officially at war with.
This would be an "option" for the non-rich corp to inflict damage on the bigger BS fleets of an enemy. When all hope is lost the kamakazie ships would be the last line of defense.
Imagine piloting an explosive ridden ship to within 1k of an enemy BS and blasting yourself into space dust. Now imagine that BS going up as well.
I think it would add alot of variety to the game.

This sounds like something the cowardly Minmatar would think of, and I am ashamed of you for suggesting it, Archbishop.

I bet there'd be some Minnies would love to have those 
I don't really think the idea would work in a practical sense. Even with the war declaration requirement, it is open to abuse and doesn't require any great intelligence or tactical ability to use.
If someone wants to destroy a ship they have to out think the opposing pilot, and then out damage him.
Cheap one-shot tactics would degrade the quality of EVE in my opinion.

Sorry, but high skills needed for a **** that destroy skills is kinda a no-no
Ships destroying skills per se is already a no-no :|

Personally, I don't think a specific ship for this purpose is a good idea.
I do think, however, that there ought to be a level of the hellstorm ship-destroying smartbomb than just for battleships.
The other part of the problem with the hellstorm is that it takes 500 units of energy to activate... if you have 500 units of energy and you're in a battleship, you're still in the fight! There is no good reason to sacrifice a 100 million isk ship with God only knows how much stuff in it... I think it should take a lot less but not activate immediately and maybe should reduce overall capacitor capacity to be fitted.
As an aside, folks, I'd also like to remind you that this place is OOC
