fire on the water, sharks attracted by wounded bleeding crew members, hypothermia, dehydration, depending on how long; the sun(sunburn ties into dehydration), urine(is a byproduct of your blood, thus sharks will be attracted to it, I'm very serious) a general fear of the enemy finding you first and demotivated; you just lost your ship/home everyone will have doubts of what they could have done to make a difference and not be stranded in the middle of the ocean once the shock has worn off of course.
