Tricky one.
The obligation to render aid to survivors has to be balanced with the risk to ones own crew.
What exactly is the risk to an SSN's crew off Sri Lanka, from Iranian forces back in the motherland ?
(the weapons fit on this particular ship was very much of the light frigate, SAG-only type, so it wasn't exactly a ASW asset in the first place, but after it has sunk that makes it even less of an excuse)
