What is the deepest and densest layer of water in the ocean?
A basic answer is that the densest ocean water is the saltiest - a ship floats higher in salt water (sea) than in fresh water (lake). Also cold water tends to sink towards the ocean floor, or may form a layer mid way.

Does a sunken ship sitting on the ocean floor have a buoyant force on it?
Yes, a sunken ship on the ocean floor experiences a buoyant force pushing up on it that is equal to the weight of the water displaced by the ship. This buoyant force helps to keep the ship in place on the ocean floor despite its weight.

Yes, if a sink is on a ship that is sinking, it would be considered a "sinking sink" in a playful sense.

Thus, in this context, the phrase captures both the literal and humorous aspects of the situation.
