I fired 3 into a troop transport & wouldn't sink, even after 20 minutes, so I sent a fourth, that did the job, this also was in a harbor raid, bit of a waste of torpedo's but I could hardly surface and I wanted my credit!

The ship can be destroyed in either of two ways......via flooding, or by a total reduction of it's damage points.
In either case you don't get the renown until you receive the message "She's going down".

I feel like harbour kills are not really 'kills', because of the shallow water thing. Like, if you torp a battleship in harbour and it sinks 20m, it will likely be raised later and repaired, or at least used for parts/scrap, making it less than total destruction. I only feel really good about sinking a battleship (or any ship I guess) in really deep water - then I know that no one will ever bring her back to the surface. I think the harbour half/sinking thing sorta addresses this issue - you only get half the tonnage on average. As a side note, I was harbour raiding in the carribean - i think it was curacao (have to check the map). Anyway, the harbour there is insanely deep - like it's on a shelf. I did a raid and sent three tankers down into the abyss. I could just imagine them tumbling down the shelf into oblivion...
