Interesting. There was a similar incident in the Pacific where an American submarine opened fire on a Russian trawler by mistake and had to save the crew before it sank. Although some of the Russians had been killed in the shelling, the survivors were extremely grateful and apparently became good friends with the sub's crew by the time they were let off in Dutch Harbor. The Russian skipper even went so far as to claim it was a Japanese ship that had fired on them and the American sub had chased it away.
