I encountered four (!!) destroyers escorting a fast-moving passenger liner. Sweet! Must be some critical reinforcements, I think. I wait with decks awash until I see two of the destroyers, send a contact report, and dive. My message (which I have no control over) reports that I have encountered a task force. The reply tells me to engage the task force and inflict serious harm. So I engage and, not wasting my torps on the destroyers, sink the luxury liner. Down it goes with 4 torps, and I make my escape. Rack up 18k.

But my mission is showing unfinished. So I'm thinking, okay, I read somewhere that maybe you need to sink 20k to complete the objective. I do an end run around the four remaining destroyers and nail one of them for 2k, so I'm over 20k now. No dice, still uncompleted.

What exactly am I supposed to accomplish here? I would have been better off, renown-wise, to have just engaged without sending in the report. Isn't sinking a big liner that was better protected than Fort Knox a "victory"?
