Hey, ShaggyMurphy! My only question about the "kills" being registered, is since you are using the deck gun, are you waiting until the ship "sink-sinks" before motoring off? What I mean is, when you torpedo a ship, it sinks relatively fast, and gets to its "crush" depth and is registered sooner than if you use a 3" or 4" deck gun, where it might take a while for the ship to reach the same "crush" depth and register for you. If you leave the area too soon, then the ship respawns, and you never sank it.
As to the Stock game and losing the deck gun and / or crew positions, are you doing the "fix" the Coletrains way? or the wolfeinsamer way? I was looking for a link to the two threads, but haven't located them yet. Try this posting in the FotRSU thread though:

Be aware though, that we have four gunner positions in FotRSU, and not the two of Stock, so govern yourself accordingly. I'll search for the old posts for the two ways to do it...
Hah! found one already:

... and I had forgotten that the other was "buried" in a thread as a reply to someone else:
