Working all day now it's time to rewind...

And from what I've heard, the ship snaps in two, however one half just hangs onto the other half for both halves to be dragged down. So they don't seperate completely, but they do for the most point.

The '97 version actually did it fairly realistically, though the seperation happens in the wrong place from what I've heard, though I can't confirm it.
