When we mention some specific thing, we need to use 'The'.
i.e The Indian Ship, right?
But why did we use an here?

"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".

According to the Merriam Webster English Dictionary: drown means- "to die by being underwater too long and unable to breathe". As only living things can breathe, it can be deduced that drown or drowned (simple past of drown) is only used for the living things. Therefore the word sank is used in the correct sentence.

The meaning of drown and sink is same and also both words are prepositional words. The drown used for any person any animal but ink is used for goods.
Eg:- Sohan drawn in river.
And the goods ship sank in sea.
Eg:- Sohan drawn in river.
