Default ships I didn't sink

While on patrol last night some black sunken ship symbols show up on my map in the bismark sea. I have just started this patrol in a campaign game and haven't sunk any ships on this particular patrol. Does anyone know what these symbols mean?

That's new to me, I have never seen "black" ship symbols. Someone here will be able to answer that I'm sure. Maybe boats sunk that have made the news and/or radio reports?

I believe they are ships that were sunk by something other than you (collisions, storms) etc.

This is the second time Ive heard of this.

Even in my "easy" campaign I have not seen them.

I have seen grey contacts that were radar contacts but no phantom sinkings.

Then again I run the "limited contacts" mod so that may explain it.

Here is a screen shot of the black sunk symbols. The one red sunk symbols is a destroyer I whacked shortly after entering this area

This happens when you have not visual or hydrophone confirmation of a ship was destroyed.

May be caused by another factors but not sure.
