The 5 ships you have to sink are 5 auxiliary cruisers. Only those count.

I just checked the museum and you are correct. The ships i sunk must have been the Auxilliary Armed Merchant Cruisers.

They apparently use the same picture in the rec. manual. Must be the same ship, but one has guns.

The auxillary cruisers are the ones that look like merchants but have a built on deck structure towards the back I'm guessing? Come up as warship contacts on the sonar as well?

I've been sinking those primarily and am about 2/5th's of the way done. It's January, 2 months left but it's a pain trying to find them sometimes lol. Still no luck on the Carrier either. Even infiltrated Scappa Flow and Portland harbors with no luck finding her

Some blockade, all the blockade vessels are hiding. I really am not looking forward to this mission from what I have heard. I have had bad experiences infiltrating harbors in this game.

So Auxiliary Armed Merchant Ships count, too? Damn, I better double check the Merchant contacts I spot when they pop up. I sunk two in the area but they didn't count, so I haven't bothered with any Merchant contacts since. Now I know better. I did find and sunk two Troop Transports, which did count, but those seem to be rare...
