Going Down with the Ship	comment	When a ship is sinking, The Captain must be the last one to leave. Other crew members typically bear the same obligation, usually so they can oversee and direct the evacuation. Similar sacrifice was traditionally expected of men, who should allow women and children to escape first (in comedies, expect a Dirty Coward to dress in drag in order to save his own skin). When Played for Drama, the captain stoically awaits his fate. When Played for Laughs, the captain is anything but noble and does whatever he can to escape, even appointing someone else captain before making a run for it. The origin of this practice is maritime salvage law — if a ship is abandoned by all the crew but doesn't sink, anyone who comes on board can claim the ship and its contents as salvage, so a senior officer has to remain on board until it becomes clear that the ship really is going down, to prevent the embarrassment of losing the ship to scavengers. (Note that the captain is clear to leave once everyone else is safely out and the ship is plainly doomed.) There are also other practical reasons, such as if rescue comes, the Captain is the first person the rescuers would contact to coordinate rescue efforts, and that would be incredibly difficult if the captain is no longer on the ship. In modern cases, captains go down with the ship because they will face major disgrace if they don't, especially if the ship is only sinking because of their screw-up, or if there are passengers or junior crew still on board. This tradition has been transferred to aviation, since The Sky Is an Ocean. In the event of a crash, the commanding pilot is expected to make sure everyone else escapes first and has final responsibility on the well-being of the people and if possible the equipment. Because also Space Is an Ocean, this also applies to starship captains, even though there's no (literal) "down" for them to go...unless they happen to be near a planet that they can crash on. Compare In Its Hour of Need and Stand Your Ground. No relation to Die for Our Ship, Ship Sinking, or just Shipping in general. As this is a Death Trope, unmarked spoilers abound. Beware.

Going Down with the Ship / int_28724fb2	comment	Captain Edward J. Smith famously and prominently went down with the ship. However, there are dozens of differing accounts as to how he died; some survivors claim he shot himself just before the final plunge, while others say he swam after a drowning child and lifted him into a lifeboat but died of exposure before he could be saved himself. The most agreed-upon version, shown in James Cameron's film, is that he remained on the bridge for the final plunge.

He is reaching the Despair Event Horizon when he sees the entirety of his crew, including his wife, being wiped out due to the ship being attacked by the mermaids, the Crab Riders, and the kraken, which is too much for him to bear. As a result, he accepts the fact that he will not be leaving the ship alive, and authorizes the surviving female passengers, stewards, and Dr. Henry Evans to leave the Obra Dinn in the last remaining lifeboat. He also intervenes on their behalf when topman Leonid Volkov attempts to prevent them from doing so, demanding that Volkov "let them go." Afterward, when there are only a few remaining crew members left to attack the Captain for the magical shells, the Captain is forced to kill them all, including his own brother-in-law and First Mate, in self-defense. Afterwards, he shoots himself in the chest, fulfilling his vow to his wife that he would be with her in the afterlife.

Going Down with the Ship / int_605dd875	comment	Stargate-verse: In Stargate SG-1, Col. Lionel Pendergast, captain of Earth's first starship Prometheus, stayed at the helm as the ship was blowing up around him in "Ethon" to beam his surviving crew to safety. In Stargate SG-1, a looming asteroid that has naquadah in it, meaning it was not naturally there as there is none of that element naturally in the Sol system is bearing down on Earth. General Hammond sends the entire SGC staff through the Stargate to the Alpha Site, but when queried if he was coming too, he says he "hasn't been relieved of this command". In Stargate Atlantis, in "The Last Man", an alternate reality Carter rams a Wraith Hiveship with the Phoenix, a much smaller 304 Battlecruiser. The Phoenix not only destroys the Hiveship, but two more are destroyed when they get caught in the blast of the first. It is unknown whether Carter meant to go down with the ship, or whether she intended to beam down to the planet below but couldn't because the transporters were knocked out. It may be relevant, however, that yet another alternate reality Carter blew herself and the Jaffa who'd just captured her "straight to hell" with a grenade.

Going Down with the Ship / int_616626a5	comment	In the X-Universe series, Earth's AGI Task Force fighter pilots will never eject from their ship — likely to prevent the superior technology of the ships from falling in the hands of the Argon Federation or other races. Every other faction fighter has a chance to bail out when they decide that they have no hope of surviving. Because ATF fighters never bail out, they are impossible to acquire in X3: Reunion and X3: Terran Conflict, though X3: Albion Prelude allows players to buy them from shipyards.

Going Down with the Ship / int_62aa95a6	comment	In The Lost Fleet this was believed to have been the fate of John Geary. He ordered his crew to the Escape Pods while he stayed on the bridge to run the ship and cover their escape. However once they were safely clear he did evacuate in an escape pod, but since the pod in question was damaged he had to go into survival sleep and wasn't rescued until nearly a century later. Captain Falco seems to do this in spirit if not in fact since he's not actually the captain but thinks he is. After his mutiny resulted in several ships being destroyed he has a breakdown and loses contact with reality. Later the ship that he's being held prisoner on is destroyed and while he doesn't survive several of the crew who do report that he was issuing orders and helping to organize the evacuation before the ship exploded.

Going Down with the Ship / int_6e1d5f36	comment	Farscape Near the end of Season 3, Crichton plots to destroy Scorpius's Command Carrier in order to stop the Wormhole Weapons project. The plan is successful, executed in such a manner that the ship collapses in on itself, thus allowing the majority of the crew to escape. Crichton then encounters Scorpius in the hangar, where Scorpius laments the destruction of his life's work, and his fears of the pending conflict with the Scarrans. When Crichton tells him that if he's going to leave now would be the time, Scorpius's remarks invoke this trope. Of course he survives, but it's the one time in the entire series we see Scorpius well and truly defeated. Averted in "Nerve"; when a Peacekeeper base has a reactor meltdown, its commander is the first to head for a Prowler to escape. He's not the only one; Captain Durka kills a junior officer and takes his uniform in an attempt to escape the destruction of the Zelbinion.

Going Down with the Ship / int_81692f99	comment	Star Trek: Star Trek: The Original Series: Subverted in "The Doomsday Machine". After the U.S.S. Constellation is put out of action, Commodore Decker evacuates the crew to a Conveniently Close Planet, remaining aboard because The Captain is the "last man to leave the ship". Unfortunately, the transporters fail, and he's Forced to Watch as the eponymous weapon ignores his spaceship and begins devouring the planet her crew had taken refuge on. In the Pilot Movie of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, "Emmisary", a flashback shows us Lt. Commander Sisko and crew abandoning the Saratoga during the battle of Wolf 359; Sisko is the last to board an escape shuttle (the captain had been killed; Sisko as first officer was now in command). He had to be dragged aboard, not because he felt he should go down with the ship but because his wife was killed and he was in despair. It happens to Sisko again with the U.S.S. Defiant as it's being blasted to scrap in "The Changing Face of Evil". He's the last one on the bridge after calling for the crew to abandon ship, and probably the last one off before the Dominion finish the job. Star Trek: Voyager: In the climatic scene of the Two-Part Episode "Year of Hell", Captain Janeway remains on board Voyager for a ramming Suicide Attack. Thanks to a temporal Reset Button, she fares better than Decker did. Janeway lampshades the trope in "Dark Frontier" as one of the "three rules of being a Starfleet captain" (the others being always keep your shirt tucked in and never abandon a member of your crew). Star Trek: Enterprise: This happens even in the amoral Mirror Universe. In "In a Mirror, Darkly", Captain Forrest stays on board I.S.S Enterprise to give his crew time to escape, in particular his lover Hoshi Sato. Star Trek: Picard: Captain Shaw says that when was he just an engineer on the U.S.S. Constance at Wolf 359, a lieutenant came down to the life deck to choose which 10 (out of 50) crewmen would be able to use the only Escape Pod left. Shaw notes that the lieutenant remained behind with the other crew.

Both of the senior officers in charge, Vice-Admiral Seiichi Itō and Captain Kōsaku Aruga decide to stay on the bridge after giving the order to abandon ship, and they would both ultimately perish just like in real life. The film though, implies that Vice-Admiral Itō commits suicide before the ship sinks.

Going Down with the Ship / int_b1058237	comment	In the Temeraire series, dragons and their captains tend to die together. In part this is because they are usually falling from a great height with no kind of rescue equipment (such as a parachute) and so the whole crew dies unless another dragon is close enough to help, but given the powerful emotional bond between dragon and captain, many of them wouldn't save themselves even if they were able. In one case the dragon takes a face full of acid and is dying painfully. The majority of the crew are able to jump accross to other dragons (friendly and enemy) but the captain instead crawls out on the dragons neck to give them a Mercy Kill

Going Down with the Ship / int_baa2a21d	comment	The famous "Miracle on the Hudson" was an event in 2009 when Captain Chesley Sullenberger landed his crippled Airbus A320 on the Hudson River.note For those not familiar with American geography, this is impressive because the Hudson river is a peculiarly small target. Not only is it much narrower than its volume would suggest, it is also at the bottom of massive limestone cliffs. To land his extra-wide Airbus A320, the Captain had to approach at a steep angle that most commercial pilots would find very difficult. It's also worth noting that several key instruments on the plane were damaged when this landing took place. After deploying the rafts and evacuating the passengers, Captain Sullenberger was the last off the sinking aircraft, having wandered all the way down the aisle and back to check that nobody was left on board — twice.note Interestingly, the A320 operating manual stipulates that the captain should be the last person off the aircraft — but that the first officer should be first off the aircraft, to assist the evacuation from the outside and coordinate the passengers on the ground (or water, as the case may be). This can be a little alarming for the passengers. Then when the people in his life raft were rescued by a ferry, he was the last person to climb up the ladder. He also refused to leave the Port Authority Ferry Terminal until all of his passengers could be accounted for. His actions would later be depicted in the film Sully.

Going Down with the Ship / int_c43df4d8	comment	Doctor Who: This almost happens to Captain Jack Harkness at the end of "The Doctor Dances". He uses his ship to capture a German bomb about to kill the Doctor and Rose. Unfortunately, the bomb has already started the explosion sequence, and the only thing keeping it from exploding is a stasis field. However, the bomb is exploding slowly. Already in space, Jack orders the ship to jettison the bomb, only to receive the reply that this will cause the bomb to explode while inside the ship. Realizing it's over, he asks the ship to mix him a martini ("Ooh, too much vermouth! See if I ever come here again!) and prepares to die in just the same way he does everything else — with buckets of style. Then the Doctor shows up in the TARDIS to ruin the moment by saving the Lovable Rogue. This happens with the captain of the space cruiser liner Titanic in "Voyage of the Damned". However, in this case, the captain is the one who causes its collision with meteors, having been paid to do so to care for his family. He stays on the bridge and dies during the impact. However, the Doctor manages to save the ship (but not the girl). In "The Night of the Doctor", Cass has stayed behind to operate the teleport and get her crew off. The Doctor shows up to save her, but when she realises he is a Time Lord she elects to stay on her ship until it crashes rather than go with him. The Doctor also elects to go down with the ship rather than abandon her.

Going Down with the Ship / int_e885c808	comment	Played with in Spaceballs. When Dark Helmet, Colonel Sandurz and President Skroob are standing in front of the last escape pod, President Skroob says: "Well boys, it's a very lovely ship. I think you should go down with it." This doesn't pan out, as the bear from the onboard zoo steals the pod.

Going Down with the Ship / int_e936047a	comment	During the Hey Arnold! episode, "The Flood", Principal Wartz states that he would remain and go down with his school. It is unknown if this was sarcasm for forgetting about him, or he really meant it.

Going Down with the Ship / int_e971bd33	comment	In The Perfect Storm, this happens with Captain Billy Tyne, when the Andrea Gail is capsized by a giant wave the crew had tried to drive over. Most of the crew are trapped in the lower deck, and have no choice but to go down with the ship. Tyne and Bobby are able to escape, but only Bobby gets out but drowns sometime later, while Tyne remains behind and goes down. Of course, seeing as there were no survivors among the crew of the real-life Andrea Gail, this is all conjecture.

Going Down with the Ship / int_eaeeea9b	comment	Subverted by the Battlecruiser Captain in StarCraft II. One of his (joke) quotes is "We're going down. Stay with the ship. I'm out!". Not taking heavy damage or close to death. Just as soon as they're hit.

Going Down with the Ship / int_eb3f769d	comment	Played very straight by Captain Jack Aubrey of the Aubrey-Maturin saga. In the book "Desolation Island", the HMS Leopard springs a very large leak and is in danger of sinking. Captain Aubrey lets the men bring out the boats and gives his First Lieutenant dispatches for the authorities, while he himself prepares to go down with the ship. The situation eventually improves, thankfully.

Going Down with the Ship / int_ef076a36	comment	Star Trek: Voyager: In the climatic scene of the Two-Part Episode "Year of Hell", Captain Janeway remains on board Voyager for a ramming Suicide Attack. Thanks to a temporal Reset Button, she fares better than Decker did. Janeway lampshades the trope in "Dark Frontier" as one of the "three rules of being a Starfleet captain" (the others being always keep your shirt tucked in and never abandon a member of your crew).

Going Down with the Ship / int_f74b5f80	comment	Babylon 5: Discussed in the episode "Babylon Squared". The last remaining crew members of Babylon 4 are being evacuated before the it gets drawn back into a Negative Space Wedgie. As it is unclear if Babylon 4 will survive the transition, Commander Sinclair compares it to a great old ship sinking. Garibaldi reminds his commander that he is emphatically not The Captain there and he is not going down with the ship. (This foreshadows the fact that his future self is also on Babylon 4, and was in fact part of the team that will have caused the Negative Space Wedgie in the first place.) Sinclair and Garibaldi are the last ones off the station. Shortly before that, in the same episode, the man who is in command there had just taken off to get to the shuttles himself, but only after seeing the rest of his crew off and imploring Sinclair and Garibaldi to get going rather than staying behind to try and save Zathras, who had appeared shortly before all of their problems began.

Eliza orders the escape pod with her children to blast off, stranding her on the captured ship. While her kids make it to safety and the Ambadassador family friends manage to rescue her husband, this left her to face a Fate Worse than Death.
