Basically, drown is the act of getting suffocated by water. Whereas sink just means falling in the water. Here ship definitely will not get suffocated by the water. Right?
So sank is used here. Fish and ship both will sink. Not drown.

"got drowned" contains the wrong tense and simply "drowned" should be used.
