Why should they do so? Do you think it was that special to sink an American ship that they felt particularly proud and stored an US flag for these occasions?
Have you ever seen a picture showing this? Maybe with a Union Jack or some other nationalitys flag? I'm not aware of this. They had the small pennants for sunken tonnage but as far as I know they made no difference what nationality the ships were.
