Your suggestion is nothing short of sheer GENIUS Waldo !
The scientific community should hang their heads in shame for not coming up with so simple and effective a solution .

No. Comets, which have much more ice than any space ship we could launch, have crashed into the Sun before. See the first source. Anyway, the heat of the Sun would break the chemical bonds that hold the hydrogen and oxygen in the water molecules and the hydrogen would just add fuel to the nuclear reactions that power the Sun.
But we could launch sunshades into space to block some the the Sunlight before it reaches Earth. See the second source.

I think you got your cause-and-effect mixed up there, friend. It's not because of the sun itself that we are experiencing global warming; it is a combination of polluting toxins in the air and the sun's effect on them. The problem, then, is with our atmosphere, NOT the sun.

The ice would melt before it got even 100 miles close to the sun. If the ship was made of metal, it would melt as well. Proportions, my dear friend, proportions.

This would have about as much effect as dropping a snowflake into the ocean. In general, I think it's bad (and potentially dangerous) policy to try to compensate for one poorly-understood environmental change (our increasing CO2 output) by introducing a second poorly-understood change.

The sun is 333,000 times the mass of the Earth, and 1.3 million times the volume of the Earth.
You really need to get these proportions in your mind. Then you would not be asking such naive questions.

not even crashind a planet of ice into it..it will only fuel the sun(fusion reactions and the water being H2O)

I think we should just build a great big umbrella that will keep us always in the shade.
