Hospital ships are rated differently than other merchants.
The 1 or -1 means X=times the renown given that ship.
So sinking a British merchant with a renown of 200 would be 200 for 1 or for a neutral ship -200 for -1.
The hospital ships renown is a -10,000 so no matter what setting you have in the basic cfg file you get hammered for sinking a hospital ship.
A long time ago I attacked one with the deck gun after not seeing the crosses on a dim night but as I closed I saw them and was aghast at my error.
Fortunately there is no penalty for shooting one up as long as you don't sink it.
