Default Sinking a Light Ship - Anyone done this?

I was patrolling in the Bristol Kanal in U-2547. Yes, that's why I ventured so close to English territory...it's a type XXI LOL! Anyway I spotted a lightship with a coal tender sitting near by keeping it company. I sent 1 torpedo into the lightship, and when that didn't do the trick, I surfaced and finished it off and sank the coal tender with my .2cm flakzwilling machine guns. However, the lightship did not show up in the recognition manual (I thought I remembered seeing them in an older version of GWX??) AND I did not get credit for the sinking! I'm confused. My rationale is that it's my job to do anything I could do to disrupt naval and merchant shipping off the coast of England, and sinking a navigational aid like a lightship would be well within my job description as a Kaluen in the Kriegsmarine.... correct? Or was I wrong to sink the little lightship? Does that make me a vicious pirate? HAHAHA!! I like the sound of that!! :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:
