Yes and a green icon is a neutral.

The other two ships that sank in the convoy (one by me, one because of the storm), had red shipwrecks, neither seen by me. One sank before the grey one, one after... At that time I was under at least 100 meters od water...

Until that day, I was sure grey shipwrecks were those not sank by me... Maybe it sank because of the weather in the end, but I was still awarded because I hit it? But why would the first one be red? I didn't even touch it (actually I am not sure what the ship was)...

That Thursday's convoy is a big mystery for me...

PS: Just to clarify, that convoy has been attacked just before my arrival to the scene, many ships were on fire or missing from the convoy. Also the sea was harsh as hell...

Ah well, even if the sunken sub didn't appear on the map, at least I got credit for it in the captains log. I really felt embarrassed though, after sinking a schooner a few patrols back, with my flak gun when it showed in the captains log as 16 tons. Still it was 16 tons closer to becoming an Ace I suppose!

Finished a patrol today and encountered a grey wreck icon. It was a surface fight between one of each German and Polish destroyers. I was submerged so didn't view it. That would confirm that theory

Also thanks to Jimbuna for confirming from many years gaming experience

Ok , that explains why I got a grey icon after sinking a ship in convoy as I was already under when it sank. The second attack I made on the convoy the ship sunk didn't even show up. As long as I got credit I didn't care...I was more happy that for the first time I was able to make an attack on convoys and sneak away without getting a pounding ...than again it was in 1940

EDIT: I should have said first successful night surface attack...what a difference absence of enemy radar can make.
