In real life I met an englishman born in Brazil. He was heading to join the RN on a ship bound for the UK. The vessel was full of Brits from Brazil, Argentina and CHile. The ship was torpedoed. Once the liner was abandoned by passengers and crew, the submarine surfaced. Presumably the captain, asked the people on the life boats if they had everythin they needed. he then told them whic course to take for nearest land.
The U-boat sailed away.
