Whale factory Ship?

During my fifth patrol (new career) I encounter a ASW Trawler followed by a 'Whale Factory Ship' on a Westward course NW of the Hebridean Island of Tiree. I surfaced and put two torpedoes into the 'Whale Factory Ship' before the ASW Trawler turned about to engage me with gunfire. With the sea unusually calm, I was able to return fire but took some damage - the fight went on for some time until the ASW Trawler turned away having sustained several hits - I was unable to make enough speed to pursue (engine damage) so submerged while the damage team went about their repairs. The 'Whale Factory Ship' had disappeared completely and looking at the chart I could see a nice red 'wreck' mark where I had attacked it but there was nothing on my 'Captain's Log' except ships that had been sunk earlier in the patrol. I am just wondering why this very obvious sinking had not been recorded?
