The fishing boat survivors said that the submariners made no attempt to help them - they had to wait half an hour for helicopters to come from the nearest Navy base to rescue them. They said they could see ppl stood on the sub just watching them. The submariners said that the seas were too rough to risk an inflatable. The survivors said that the sea was sufficiently calm that they had no problems swimming to the life-rafts. Whilst the survivors who reached the life-rafts were in no danger, maybe some of those 9 missing could have been saved - anyone injured in the accident who couldn't make it to a life-raft, for instance. There's always the danger of 20-20 hindsight in anything like this though. If the submariners believed they couldn't safely launch boats, then that's their judgement call. They did put out a call for assistance immediately and helped coordinate the rescue.
