RN & USN:
3rd May, 2020. The Duke-class frigate HMS Kent (F78) takes part in a replenishment-at-sea with Supply-class fast combat support ship USNS Supply (T-AOE-6) whilst on exercise with the U.S. Navy in the Arctic Circle. The exercises have been taking place in the Arctic Circle where, with added wind chill, the temperatures plummeted to a jarring minus 10 degrees centigrade. HMS Kent has been conducting maritime patrol duties in and around the U.K. before she met with the U.S. task group and will continue the exercises with her closet allies before she will return to her home port to 'thaw out' and have essential maintenance carried out.

VB-107 war history covering this attack

Lt. Baldwin on anti-submarine sweet southwest of Ascension, attacked an enemy submarine ... and crippled her so that she was unable to submerge. The plane remained in the area, homing in other planes and making strafing runs co-ordinated with the attacks of 107-B-8 and 107-B-4.
Lt. Ford, on a parallel sweep, proceeded to the scene of action and made two runs... but no damage claimed. The enemy was a 1200 ton German and the anti-aircraft fire was intense on both attacks.
Lt. Hill, took off from Ascension and proceeded to the position. The attack was made and 5 depth charges dropped, all short. The #2 engine was hit by AA fire and put out of commission...
Lt. S.K. Tayor, took off... and, upon reaching the scene, made two runs, dropping five and four depth charges respectively. Both drops were very accurate; the sub blew up and sank within five minutes. Survivors were seen in the water and life rafts dropped.
The battle lasted for five and one half hours... four Navy PB4Y's and 3 Army B-25's had attacked the enemy.
Survivors seen in water. Life raft dropped. Located British merchant ship S.S. "Fort Cumberland", and requested it to search for sub survivors.
So it seems efforts were made to direct a vessel to search for the men in the rafts. No idea if the ship actually tried to find them and failed, or ignored the request; but in the end as mentioned none of the sailors survived.
