Yes.  Newtonian physics, like momentum, are not modeled.

The ship's speed won't add to the missile's speed, by the way.  Trans-Newtonian products stay fixed in space essentially except when under engine power.
Oh  i was thinking the ship use fuel just to speed up slowdown or turn hmm maybe i need to read more.  This mean ship wont crash into stuff if they run out of fuel to manuever right? It will just stop whereever it is correct?

The ship will pass the missile.

Hi I am new here and i got a question.  If i designed a ship that move at about 9600km/s but i made a missle that only fly at about 4000km/s will the ship runinto the missle if it moving in the same direction or will the missle speed add up with the ship making it 13600km/s?
