I think they did one time. A bit fuzzy on the details. A boat sunk a ship and there were lots of people in the water. The seas were getting rough and it was believed no other ships were close to pick them up. Another boat was called in and survivors packed the deck. There were radio calls out to identify these boats were conducting a rescue, but a British plane attacked them. After that, no more rescues.
