I wuz robbed...now I need to know why

I came across something similar over the weekend. Intercepted a convoy north of scotland early 1940 and sank a large cargo and scored a hit on what I thought was a large merchant. Went deep, evaded and then leap frogged the convoy to hit them again. This time I sank a large merchant. Went deep again. Escorts weren't really trying so I came back to periscope depth pretty fast. I picked up a merchant approaching way behind the convoy but on the same track. It was a large cargo. I assumed that it was the ship I had damaged in the first attack and had mistaken the type. I put her down but received no credit for the sinking. Put it down to a glitch and continued on my patrol.

Later in the north Channel I picked up a fast Merchant on the 'phones and intercepted her. Turned out to be a small tanker travelling at 14 knots. Being early war and good weather I stayed on the surface and put her under using the deck gun. Distinctive ship with a grey shell logo on the funnel. Off I went again but about 50 km south after I had dived for a sound check the sound man picked up another merchie travelling fast. Another small tanker with the shell logo. Surfaced and fought my gun action, down she went but I received no credit.

I'm assuming now that the two additional ships I sank were actually the two I had already done over and had respawned somehow. If thats possible in that location I dont know. BBW might have an answer I guess
