can you make visual effects stop when a ship is deamed destroyed

things like bow wakes and prop wash stop when the ship stops but not when it starts sinking. this is probably one of those situational things where its hard to get right but when a ship stops moving forward due to torpedo damage flooding rather than engine damage, it keeps generating bow wakes like its still moving forward.

it looks silly to see a bow wake on a ship that is not moving forward and is sinking by the stern so i would like to know how this could be modded to turn off sooner like when the crew lifeboats appear.
