    Depending.

    If they were refugees running from War, I would help them.

    If they were Gold Diggers, I would open fire on their sinking ship to help them sink faster.

    Follow the orders. Hopefully in the way Australia sorts illegal immigration. Ship them to a camp in another nations territory. Illegal immigrants need to know they will never, ever set foot in your nation if they do so illegally.

    ship them back would make you leave the territory you supposed to guard, so let them drown?

    I'd help them, for sure. I don't agree with people entering countries illegally via homemade boats/rafts/etc, but I couldn't stand by and watch another human being drown, especially when they've not even done anything to me. I think it'd take an unusually desensitised soul to look the other way.

    All naval craft have patrol routes, ports and procedures. If the question is, your orders are gun them down or force them away even if in serious distress, the answer would be disobey the orders. If you've then disobeyed orders once, one more suc as dropping them closer to another coast after food and rest is the next commonsense step.

    I'm not a cruel person. I would definitely help. I always think how I would like others to react to me in differen situations... And I would like to be helped, obviously. So that's what I would do.

    I'd call reinforcement in my favour. Then we could prepare our weapons, save and arrest them. If they start a fight they will be shot.
