and when I checked my log it was confirmed I just took out a hospital ship. I got a hit on the renown I think I lost 10,000 but what the hell I still got about 111,600 left.
I don't feel guilty about doin it,the russians did the same to the Wilhelm Gustav.(sorry if the spellings wrong)

Yes the rusians did sink the Wilhelm Gustlof and some more.
However in that case it was a little different as the WG was the Barack ship for the U-Boot division and when she left she was equiped with AA Guns and a lot of U-Boot personel and thousends of Refugees and only a few injured Soilders. So strictly the WG was not a Hospital Ship as she was Armed. (Still over 9000 Ppl. died that night)
