I guess I'll have to watch for the lights/no lights thing. I've seen plenty of neutrals in the Channel, but never noticed the lights. It's 1939 and most of the ships I saw along the British coast during my last patrol were Norwegian. I thought I saw a Jack on the last one so I sent my final torpedo up his bow - oops . Fortunately, it didn't sink him even though it detonated under his bow. I guess you can shoot a neutral all you want without a renown hit as long as he doesn't sink. I would think in RL the owners of the ship and the supplier of torpedos would both be just a bit miffed about that.
I'm no expert on WWII equipment, but I would have expected any sort of warship to have some honkin' powerful binoculars for ship ID.
