Not sure about what sub it was, but when I was active duty, we were sent on a SAR mission in the Pacific for a large trawler with fire damage and inuries. Apparently there was a sub very close to the ship, they wouldn't assist due to "mission prioritites". Since we were at peace time, I was surprised. Now that I know a little more about sub ops, I guess I'm not surprised. Would a sub typically assist a ship in distress, assuming they knew about it? (not sure how this sub knew, but I guess they did, as some of the coordinates were relayed to the carrier form the sub).
