Refuel, re-supply & renown/promotions/medals.....

Greetings all,

I have a question that I am sure has previously been covered but am at a loss as to where I can find the thread.
Basically, its June 1940, I have been sent from Wilhelmshaven to GC85 down near Gibraltar to patrol. I slipped through the English channel avoiding the attention of the Dunkirk debacle and the thick shipping activity. Next it was down though the Bay of Biscay and south along the West coast of Portugal to my patrol area.
By the time of my arrival at GC85 and the end of 24 hours patrolling, I had approx six ships sunk with a total tonnage of +/- 12.000-
Realizing that I was down to 25% fuel capacity and only had 7 eels left, I decided to pop in to a re-supply ship located on the Atlantic northern western of Spain, I think it was Marin. Anyway, pressed ESC and got the “Dock at bla bla”. I was informed that I had received medals and promotion and also had gained renown, however, when I tried to allocate the medals and promotion, it seemed as though the option was blocked?
So, I set off again, hit “K” (Captains Log) and there is no record of the boats sunk?
Does this mean that I will now loose the renown, promotion and medals or will they be available for when I get back to Wilhelmshaven?
While it is great to get fueled and tooled back up to enable me return to home base, if I am to loose my renown etc, seems futile to go on such long patrols?

Any ideas welcome.
