How do you make a model move negative on the y axis?

*I am working on a ship sinking script, Every thing works except the sinking part of it..

I'm trying to make the ship go down on the y axis. which is negative.

I was thinking to add body velocity but it isn't working. Could someone tell me why??*

By the way, The ship is a MODEL, Not a Union

The script goes inside of an "iceberg" I guess you could say. When the ship hits it, The script automatically changes its' parent to server script service so the boat can only touch it once.

local inf = 99999999999999999999999999999999999999999999
script.Parent.Touched:connect(function(h)
	if (h.Parent.Name ~= "one" or "two" or "Three" or "Ocean" or "Dock") then
		script.Parent = game.ServerScriptService
		game.Workspace.Iceburg:Destroy()
		game.Workspace.Panic:Play()
		wait(60)
		game.Workspace.Ship.Motor.Disabled = true
		game.Workspace.Ship.Windows.Union.Transparency = 0
		game.Workspace.PowerDown:Play()
		wait(10)
		game.Workspace.Snap:Play()
		-- Here's the part that doesn't work.
		local velocity = Instance.new("BodyVelocity")
		velocity.Velocity = Vector3.new(0, -25, 0)
		velocity.Parent = game.Workspace.Ship.Prime
		velocity.P = 500
		velocity.MaxForce = Vector3.new(0, 100, 0)
		script:Destroy()
	end
end)
