Does Sinking a Ship need visual comfirmation?

a 6-months-later reply - just wanted to say that I just had the exact same situation, right down to it's being a Kongo-class battleship west of Luzon! Like you, I hit it (in my case 3 out of 4 hit), it crippled it, I hung around in the area, after 15 minutes I periscoped-up and saw it nearly motionless and heavily listing, I had to quickly submerge again as there were still a swarm of DDs around it, after about 15 minutes more I saw the little red "ship sunk" icon show up on screen, I could even hear it's death throes on my sonar - but like you I got no credit.

oh well.
