As I now only have GWX and 1.6, I am sure of it. Firts -it is in the GWX manual. Second - 1.6 did add just AI subs, no ships.

Also, I met just two so far. Both quite close to Netherlands.

GWX 3.0 manual, page 416: Lightships in GWX are encountered individually and as called for by campaign scripting. Note that lightships are naval auxiliaries and are an exception to the general rule that illuminated ships are always neutral: nations at war with Germany will have illuminated lightships, but they are worth little renown.

Also it states that they were quite rare, because they were being replaced by buoys. US had only 30 operational in 1939.
