Again, checking the external camera they appeared quite close to where the red cloud was. I even got their boat to appear on my nav map a few times but no visual joy when surfaced.
Was I chasing will-o-the-wisps? Were they rescuable?

I have experienced the same situation when starting a FOTRSU single mission (Aleutians), I have submerged when my radar spotted 2 planes, and afterwards I had 2 blue squares on the map, a 1-man boat and a 'Survivor'. I had then to save/quit. So I guess that if I can take the survivor onboard this will respond to your question. There is a dedicated symbol in the menu to pick-up survivors, at least in the FOTRSU mod. I will report here to tell if I succeed picking the guy up.
