Stationary Cargo Ships

I hate these damn ships...

So far every career that I've taken part on the first or second patrol I encounter a lone stationary Small Merchant or C2 Cargo ship. Everytime I've gone to sink such a ship it's refused to go down. I started a career in 1939 in the 7th Flolitta, on my first patrol I intercepted a lone C2 Cargo ship that I had recieved a radio contact on my nav map. When I came within visual range it was stationary. I put one torpedo set on impact right into it underneath the stack. The stern sagged, but it still sat afloat. Even after surfacing the ship didn't move and I began to shell it. I put a good 30-40 shells into it without much effect...

Cutting to the chase I basically put 5 torpedos plus a good amount of shells into the water line which did little to change it's sitting in the water after the first torpedo impact.

Anybody else encounter this? A known bug?
