Interesting video of a sub shooting a Jap fishing vessel then rescuing survivors
 
Then they throw some pyrotechnics on the boat to destroy it.

I wonder what they did with the survivors? Put them ashore?

Interesting piece of footage. Especially since it is in color.

They likely ended up in a POW camp. The U.S. interned captured Japanese at Camp Paita in New Caledonia, though most were eventually transferred to seven camps set up on the U.S. mainland. Spain acted as the protecting power for Japanese prisoners of war in the United States until April 1945, when the massacre of the Spanish consulate at Manila caused Spain to break relations with Japan. Japanese captured by Commonwealth forces were usually interned at Camp Bikaner in present-day Pakistan; Camp Cowra, Camp Hay, and Camp Murchison in southeast Australia.
