I had one on more than one occasion where its dead in the water 3/4 sunk I come back later after the weather calms down to finish it with the deack gun and its gone.
Hi, what has happened is you have gone too far from the ship; the ship 'revives' itself then goes on it's merry way. The solution is to either go to periscope depth then get a card school going or play 'I-spy' with the Crew [I spy with my little eye something beginning with 'S']. The other option, which I haven't tried but supposed to work is to stay on surface then go down to Ahead Slow then raise the TC and circle the sinking ship until it goes down completely.

I always wait until I get the 'enemy unit destroyed' caption and/or the red sunk ship on the map before I carry on.
