How do you classify when a ship was "sunk" by a sub? Sometimes the ship doesn't sink until many days later and many miles later, enroute to home base. Other times a sub might sink a ship which was badly damaged by other means first, etc. etc. I guess I'm trying to say, sometimes the classification process might be "fuzzy", so curious how you're handling this.

[Rysyonok]

A sub had to have delivered the final blow, as confirmed by combatreport.txt and sunk ship listing. That's why I keep all the combat reports as in some cases I had to go back 2 months.
