Seth,
This makes sense--I'm a student of the war, but why did I get the Grey sunken ship Icon? I was ~10 km from the ship when it went down. Does the grey icon just mean that you know that a ship went down, but not what ship--neutral, enemy, or friendly?
It's the grey icon that's confusing me. Such a simple question, but I torp'ed the ship, turned to leave, it went down, and it showed up as a grey icon--why?
Damn, i've been playing this game since it came out and I really feel that I should know the answer to this

I feel that it was just that I was a little ways from it. Is this how it works?
