come think of it, in the carribean i wouldn't expect to meet a friendly or a hospital ship, so it couldn't be anything else but an unfriendly. or could it?

You have a good point. Also you said it was coastal, so unless someone invented a secret coastal hospital ship, that's out. Friendlies unlikely in the area, I suppose the only other possibility is a neutral - in which case, it wouldn't be travelling lights out I don't think.

Good call

Well, since its about morality, i'd let it be in real life.
Its a small ship that wont have much of an effect to the war unless it carries something important. And thats kinda unlikely.
IRL it doesnt worth killing about 15-30 sailors for such a small vessel.
And besides them, there are their families too.

Leave her be. There are better things to waste torpedoes on.

You did right.
He wasn't a friendly. He was armed.

The Uboat Commander's Handbook makes it clear that one should not let targets pass in hopes of bagging something Bigger.

And, yes, 2.000 tonnes is worth a torpedo, or 2 if neccesary.
It's not 1940 anymore.

Also from the handbook:
Use 2, 3, 4 topedoes. Whatever is neccesary.
It's better to destroy a-little, than damage a-lot.
