Realistic ship sinking time and renown awarding

Some additional info - just sunk a passenger/cargo ship, total time between "torpedo impact!" and "she is going down" 60 minutes, still counted as a "kill".

Ship was hit a bit stern for the sweet spot, several times the fire broke out aboard and was snuffed again. 3,3 km distance.

Weather: storm on approach, medium height waves.

I really don't get it.

is it the distance that makes difference between "ship sunk on itself" and "kill"?
