I would think that the survivors would have been offered other work, don't you?

Interesting question. I'm not sure what the policy of the Navy was during WWII. I could be wrong, and if anyone knows for sure please correct me, but I think that as long as the war was on, and as long as you were not seriously injured, you were required to get back on the horse, so to speak. If you were on a surface ship that got sunk and were rescued, you got assigned to another surface ship. Same thing with subs, but there were not nearly as many survivors of subs that sank. If anyone knows for sure, feel free to correct me.
