Definitely worth having. It's quite common for a ship to be "destroyed"
by only a point or two - OK, power's gone, but that doesn't mean the
thing has exploded. There'll be a lot of people in suits, lifeboats,
etc., awaiting pickup - so there's definitely call for SAR, and with the
likely distance to a friendly base it makes sense to combine this with
hospital treatment.
