That is stupid, losing renown for sinking a neutral ship within a convoy. As I recall all neutral ships in convoy were considered available targets because they were travelling in an enemy convoy. So in reality no U-boat captain would have been criticized for sinking a neutral in a convoy.

Good Point. On May 24th, 1940 Pasenger Liners became fair game. ( From Hitler's U-Boat War by Clay Blair)
