I regard any ships in a convoy guarded by belligerent warships to be hostile. They are giving aid and comfort to the enemy and cannot expect to be magically protected that way. I respect neutral vessels sailing independently, but if they are in a British convoy, I attack them. I edit my renown penalty but do not use that to sink anything in sight. I have encountered neutrals sailing with lights on, illuminating their flags, but I have also seen neutrals running without lights. It has only been my ability to spot their flag that saved them. Recently I detected two merchantmen by hydrophones. After several hours of tracking them and lining up to attack I was disappointed to see two tankers flying the Stars and Stripes. Once Dec. 10-41 comes they'll get theirs!
