I was referring more to the damage effects and the fact that the DD could not lower its guns and hit a target at close range. (Perhaps, I should have made that more clear.) I know of a case of an American submarine which survived ramming a maru, but have never come across the opposite. And no, the Japanese were not known for search and rescue efforts of individual pilots. They even left crews of sunken vessels in the water at times, but it does add to the flavor of the game immensely, but the way it was handled was exactly how allied fleets would have handled it. It would be interesting to see if the situation occurs in game with Allied aircraft.
