Use of past perfect tense dosent make sense here. So we are using "simple past".

"the" is used with any noun when the meaning is specific. Here it is specific, that the ship is INDIAN.

Two finite verbs cannot be just posed in the same form. I think it's "gets" not "got".

'sank in the Pacific Ocean' as sank is used when an object thrown in water weighs more than the water it displaces, it sinks down.
So, we can have a sinking ship, a sunk boat, a sunk box etc. Drown means suffocating under water and dying.
