turns out I sank the same ship twice...

So I sank a 12000 cruiser,
few days later I see the same class cruiser sailing on it's own in same general direction.

Takes me a while to catch up and evade all the airplanes and destroyers.
I sink it by shooting it with two torps: one in the front ammo store, and one in the fuel tanks.

She sank shortly after...

but I did not get credit for it

just heads up so that others don't do the same mistake.

I read somewhere that if you sink a ship (hopefully an enemy ship) and if you save or save and exit within 50km radius of the sinking you might lose the credit and the ship will reappear. This happened to me once. I think I read this in the GWX manual....not sure.

The creditting of renown not being given on the odd occasion is a phenomena nobody has been able to resolve thus far.
