This was a despicable and murderous act. It is interesting to contrast the treatment of seafarers by the u-boat commanders and those of the Japanese Navy.

Military and civillian seafarers although at war had another enemy and that was the sea. U-boat commanders on the whole were not attempting to target those who had made for the lifeboats, their goal was the sinking of Allied tonnage.

When it came to total and brutal warfare the Japanese were experts at it. Not good enough to sink a ship or down an aircraft but they had to kill the occupants so they would not live to fight again.
