At the end of a battle (before the XP appears), a file is loaded named Battleresult. It looks something like this.

svdata={"api_result":1,"api_result_msg":"\u6210\u529f","api_data":{"api_ship_id":[-1,554,521,516,503,502,502],"api_win_rank":"S","api_get_exp":120,"api_mvp":1,"api_member_lv":109,"api_member_exp":5573127,"api_get_base_exp":320,"api_get_ship_exp":[-1,1152,384,384,384,384,384],"api_get_exp_lvup":430487,442000],[8768,9100,10500],[26831,27600],[402816,411500],[529932,545500],[514897,527000,"api_dests":6,"api_destsf":1,"api_lost_flag":[-1,0,0,0,0,0,0],"api_quest_name":"\u30ad\u30b9\u5cf6\u6c96","api_quest_level":5,"api_enemy_info":{"api_level":"","api_rank":"","api_deck_name":"\u6575\u6c34\u96f7\u6226\u968a"},"api_first_clear":0,"api_mapcell_incentive":0,"api_get_flag":[0,1,0],"api_get_ship":{"api_ship_id":56,"api_ship_type":"\u8efd\u5de1\u6d0b\u8266","api_ship_name":"\u90a3\u73c2","api_ship_getmes":"\u8266\u968a\u306e\u30a2\u30a4\u30c9\u30eb\u3001\u90a3\u73c2\uff08\u306a\u304b\uff09\u3061\u3083\u3093\u3060\u3088\u30fc\uff01 \u3088\u3063\u308d\u3057\u304f\u3045\uff01"},"api_get_eventflag":0,"api_get_exmap_rate":0,"api_get_exmap_useitem_id":0}}



If a ship drop is not assigned, the api_get_ship call is not made. Api_ship_id refers to Naka (go to her page and mouseover her picture - the wiki has a convention of naming the ship card image files after their API_id values), and as you can see, Naka is the newest ship in my fleet. These kinds of hoaxes are based on the principle that people will believe what they either wish, or fear, is true, with less scrutiny than something that elicits no emotional reaction.

Tl;dr - It's bullshit. The drop is assigned in the same API call that is used to assign the EXP; if you can see the EXP, the ship is in your HQ even if your computer gets fried by a sudden lightning strike when you're looking at the results.
