Depending on the date, another possible explanation is that passenger ships (early war) are major no no.
British or not, doesn't matter.
Mid September on my first patrol, I stumbled on a small French freighter. I ignored the orders from BDU that French vessels were only to be shot at in self defense. 2000 ton is still 2000 ton right? I wasn't credited the tonnage. In adition the ship did not display on the map as destroyed.
I also believe it cost me some reknown, although I'm not entirely sure about that.
