Iam on my third patrol, {actually my 10th, but with a new Sub}.I got a report that a enemy convoy was in the area of the marianas . were I have been heading too raid Saipan Harbor , also To Too Honsyu . I tracked and Intercepted the convoy . It was a small convoy . I got myself into postion and notice that it was 3 destroyers and a old time freighter , with a Old european liner . They Were South speed 12 knots and closing . than all of the sudden . they changed course to Sw . I had been sitting Underwater listining to my sonor gramerphone man . I notice the course change and made an Adjustment. I rasied my periscope and noticed that they were 3500 yards away . I wanted the old european liner . I shot 2 torps , one 2 degress too port and 1 dead on . Needless to say the one torp hit the liner . I went too the external view and saw the one torp hit just aft of the mid-section . I broke off the attack and dived below the thermal layer , i80 degress from my heading . I belived the one torpedo wasnt enough too sink the liner . But Too my amasement I got the message , that she was sunk , there was no icon of a ship sunk . it seems that in previous patrols the same thing occurs . I get credit for the sinking ship but no icons on the map . Is this a mystery ??

Has this happend to you ??
