Some years ago a British Royal Navy ship was shadowing a fleet of Soviet ships when a Yak-38 came up behind getting read to land on its carrier. Suddenly a problem developed and the Soviet pilot ejected. But his problems were not over as after he hit the water he became tangled in the cords of his parachute and looked like he would drown. With the Soviet fleet to far away to respond quickly enough the Royal Navy ship sent out a boat and saved the pilot before he drowned and then handed him over back to his own shipmates. Got to be one of the few times the Soviets did not mind being shadowed.
