Default Does a capital ship sinking actually SUCK a swimmer down to drown?

Yeh, let's define the orig. post "capital ship".

Minimum 500' long, 30,000 gross registered
tons? Or over 1,000' and 80,000GRT?

Titanic was 880'x92', 46,000GRT - rather
narrow for her size, and mostly all hull -
compared to the floating projects circling
the Caribbean today. The fears of being
sucked down with her proved unfounded.
