Neutrals are supposed to be NEUTRAL

[Tessa]

Historically neutrals were sometimes subject to enforced blackouts depending on where they sailing around. This mostly applied to the America's were the most neutral ships were sunk (in the shortest period of time) due to an enforced blackout rule for any shis sailing in or between certain area's at night. Several Brazillian ships were mistakenly sunk and Mexican ships (afterwards the Mexico which was neutral flipped sides to the allies after feeling betrayed for being neutral, Brazil wasn't exactly happy either) as well. Inside a port though or alone at sea I've yet to see a neutral not properly lit up.

Sinking a hospital ship is nothing but pure bad karma. There's a good chance many of your own country's casualties may be on board. Even in poor weather those things are lit up like Christmas Tree's, something so large so well lit up is probably not doing so for the sake of trying to be stealthy; its doing everything short of keying down the radio and screaming out Hospital Ship!

LOL. Maybe they should install some mega phones and try screaming that out every 5 mins. Being on that post for an eight hour duration would suck...
Does GWX actually feature hospital ships? I haven't been playing it for very long, but I haven't seen any around. Are they only in a certain area?

@Jack Cutter!
Hospital ships, you can see in the western part of the British Isles, or in the Irish Sea or the Mediterranean or when sailing in principle, anywhere, and they are often located in harbors, but of course it changes as the war continues.

[Tessa]

Hospital ships are most frequently seen in harbors, though its a bit uncommon they can be sailing around the major shipping lanes transporting casualties around. If visibility is poor or worse and you can make out a large lit up ship in your scope best option is to dive and look very very closely before considering firing or just let it pass, its likely either a hospital or neutral ship.

It's certainly one of those. The game doesn't give lit ships - they are a mod and all lit ships are neutral or hospital ships.

And they're always big heavy tonnage porkers that you'd love to sink.... and can't.
