You probably should have done them a favor and radioed back to base with the KIA report for those poor slobs.
Or else turned about and followed that u-boat to help them engage those trawlers and the Elco. It might have proven to be an interesting battle, that boat tangling with the enemy while you circled from a distance and pounded them with your own deck gun (assuming you were heading home and out of torpedoes).
That early in the war, your boldness might have earned a few medals for your crew.
