**In one instance of a ship sinking, the captain is appalled to learn after the final torpedo hits the target that the crew has not already abandoned ship.**
Poor sailors, they are going to get sunburnt, then hungry, then mad, and then they will die. But we were only aiming at the cargo. Oh, well, wir erledigten nur unsere arbeit. Aufmerksamkeit.

**With respect to U-Boats in particular, I do not believe there is any documented instance of a U-Boat crew shooting survivors in the water after their ship had been sunk.**
Yes, those people were quite merciful. Why waste ammo on someone who'll drown anyway, right?
