It's not about going down with the ship, it's about chain of command which has rigourous structure aboard a marine vessel. orders come from the captain, he would handle and direct abandoning ship and is supposed to be the last one off,
that doesn't mean going down with the ship, that means captaining the vessel whiles it's still floating- doing his job.
