Not only would a rescue mod be historically inaccurate, it would also not be historically plausible. You are forgetting that until late 1944, our submarines were operating in waters not controlled by us--they were Japanese waters. It was impossible to dispatch help: tankers, tow boats, even merely rescuing a crew was at best improbable, probably impossible.

The only rescue was capture and internment for the rest of the war at the gentle hands of your Japanese captors, who, seeing a soldier who allowed himself to be captured alive as the lowest form of life on the planet, didn't see much to gain by feeding him enough to keep him alive.
