While you may have damaged it, the cause for its sinking was something external to what you did; thus giving you no credit.

I have noticed that a grey sunk ship icon also means that the ship sunk by you but you didn't visually confirmed it , possibly by seconadray explosions or flooding.
For example : I have hit ships in a convoy but they didn't ship immediately. After I dived deep enough to avoid the D/C the ships went down about 30 miles away from my postition. They grey icon showed up and I got the renown for it.
