Their is another problem with a black hole the extreamly high gravity will
pull harder on the front of the ship then the back since the front is
closer to the mass of the black hole.  With gravity as strong as a black
hole this would stretch a ship and every component and person on the ship
basically stretching them and tearing them down too the molecular level. 
The ship and crew would be just billions of molecules.
