On a related note, I once torpedoed a merchant and the one behind him stopped right alongside for about five minutes. I was amazed. Recorded in my log that he was picking up survivors, and I let him go.

I've been looking at the various nodes created by the lifeboat mods & Racerboy's effects - it would be a simple matter to spawn a static rescue ship, Sunderland, or Catalina after a sinking to "rescue" the survivors. I could also make it disappear after a predetermined time. That should ease your conscience.
It's just a matter of finding time to do these things.
