The Rescue That Never Happened

I was never a navy man, but know that the very first law of the seas is that no matter who you are, where you are headed, or what the issue, it is written in stone that you always stop to rescue someone in trouble. To me, someone is criminally responsible for failure to do his/her duty.

What say you?

My mother came from a fishing family and she was taught to always check if help is needed, made available or someone who could help is told. She instilled it in us too, even though she had her own boat and we are very much land based.
It is unacceptable that anyone doesn't check the slightest query.
Also, I would have thought the boat would have shown up on radar, which should have alerted the crew.
