Do you have a screenshot of your patrol report? How is it described? How much renown?

I dont know about him but I hit a life boat once with a deck gun shell just to see what would happen I think it took two or three shells IIRC and it sank and later showed up on my patrol report but I am pretty sure I got no renown for it. It did strangely say that it was 5 tons which make that one heavy life boat.

Maybe it was the sumo-wrestler crew?

I sank one with a torpedo once. First hit sank the ship and the 4th. fish hit the lifeboat, got credit as "Lifeboat", don't know about the renown not much I would think.

"0" renown.

No renown? NO RENOWN!!

Should have gotten something, it cost me a torpedo.
