IF I was a betting man,I'd bet they fired some flares off to pinpoint their position for the warship,or orange smoke for the chopper if that's how they were picked up.
Ah yes, the Royal Navy, of course they will not have any radios or radio detecting equipment on their vessels, they would have no EPRIB location information and the helicopter pilot could easily miss that 6 person lurid orange liferaft amongst all that dark blue stuff.
If it was an American or Russian warship, firing a rocket in their direction would leave you with no risk of returning fire at all
