No, probable suicide for the pilot and crew is not a requirement. P-3 ditchings have a very poor survival record. The EP-3, known as "Skypig" for the projections on it's belly resembling the mammary glands of a sow pig, is an especially poor candidate. Here's some background on P-3 ditchings. Note the link to the totally successful VP-47 ditching at the bottom of the page. actually, in my post I supposed that the crew could bailout before ditching the plane. I understand this is a dangerous practice, but not suicidical as a ditching.
