Drowning is death from suffocating under water, to sink is merely to go below the water's surface, anything can sink, only living things can drown. Yeah that's what it is.

Drowned is use to express while some living things are being going under the water on floating or submerging into the water. Sink is used to refer for all nonliving elements.

Drawn means die through submersion in water. But the ship can not die, so here is the mistake.

According to grammar rule. We are using "drawn" for living thing and "sank" for any non living thing/object, and funny thing is that, ship comes in non living thing.

Why can't we use "THE INDIAN SHIP" instead of "AN INDIAN SHIP" as we have used "THE INDIAN RADIO" in the 4th question?
