Racerboy added distress flares a few weeks ago. Right now they are only available for the NKSQ but they will be added to the other ships eventually.
I agree that merchant ships shouldn't have searchlights since the AI automatically turns them on & illuminates the whole convoy. Historically any sailor who left even one light on could be in serious trouble. I remember reading in one book that a Coast Guard vessel once threatened to machine gun a tanker if they didn't screen their portholes.
