Sunken Ships not counting

I destroyed a Fuso on my second ever SH4 mission, in shallow waters on a recon mission at Yokohama harbor. It was too good an opportunity to pass up! I used four torps, aimed at equidistant points along the hull. Two at each end of the superstructure and another two towards each end of the ship. I'd read up long ago about Gunther Prien's U-47 attack on the Royal Oak battleship at Scapa Flow, so I knew roughly how many torpedoes would be needed. I was ready to do another pass if necessary but the four shots did the job. I guess I must have caused sufficient damage to count it as destroyed. It rolled right over but couldn't sink too far due to the shallow waters. I'd say just keep shooting until you get the confirmation for the kill. If you run out of fish and it's safe to do so, surface and use the deck gun. Gotta be worth it for the 34k tonnes!
