self-destruct 
Self destruct (Action operator) 
Causes the specified ship(s) to self destruct. 
Takes 1 or more arguments... 
All: Name of ship to self destruct.

It should be noted that there is a difference between the FS1 SEXP and the FS2 SEXP. While the FS1 SEXP brings the ship's hull straight to zero immediately, the FS2 one brings it down successively.
In FS1, ships which were destroyed via self-destruct would be shown as 'Destroyed' in the F4 Mission Log. In FS2, they are said to have 'Self-Destructed.'
This triggers the ship's destruct animation rather than making the ship disappear, if that is what you meant to do, there are better SEXPs (ship-vanish).
Self-destruct will not always trigger the (is-destroyed-delay "Ship that self-destructs") SEXP tree, so it is safer to circumvent it by using the (is-event-true-delay "Event that triggers self-destruct").
