No. Any subsequent mentioning of Kisaragi's sinking only serves to highlight that the adaptation is in name only.
It's not really much about reality here, but that some gameplay mechanics are there for the sake of gameplay, but isn't something you would expect to translate to any other medium adaptation.

It would be like they making an RPG adaptation that when fighting, if a character goes down it isn't a problem, he just be on the floor there, enemies won't attack him anymore, even attacks against the whole party wouldn't affect him. And after the enemies are taken care of they just get back up without a problem. As in those kind of games, only if your whole party go down you get a game over.
