Since you have one it needs the other.
Actually, they shouldn't stop and pick them up. British convoys in the Atlantic had strict orders not to make themselves targets by stopping to take on survivors. After the battle the escorts would try to pick up survivors, but only if it was convenient.

Very good but in the Sim ( especially SH4 1.4 ) I've seen DD's following very slowly behind crippled ships ( that just would not sink ) and almost hit their guys in lifeboats and keep on going. This has happened twice and both times I was out of torps just watching slightly above the surface. I still think the DEVs could have coded it for them to be picked up even if it was a last chance deal.
