After being sunk by an enemy ship with a name a popup appears saying
‘You were sunken by …’
This both lets players find ships that have sunk them and gives players chances to appreciate the names of ships
Popup after sinking to see who scuttled you
I'd be more inclined to get like a little banner popup if you look at a named Ship through the Spyglass - namely because you don't get a pop-up for any other ways you can be sunk so it would not be consistent with the rest of the UI design in the game. Granted, normally banners aren't triggered by the Spyglass, but I will admit that I don't think it should be based off of sailing close to it like we have with Islands (though it would be more consistent).
Heck, they could elect to expand the idea and make Island banners pop-up when viewed directly with the Spyglass - that would actually be handy for navigation purposes, in particular on a Rowboat, but also for newer players still learning the Map to not have to run back to the Map so frequently to check on their course.
“You were sunk by Marmalade Sandwich”
Yes, I likey
Edit: To add on to @redeyesith’s post, maybe something like, if anyone has watched Greyhound, where the camera focuses on the other ship/s and displays their name underneath or to the side.

It's a nice idea but difficult to know exactly who is to get credit for a sink. The only thing I can think of is that the game assigns every hole & tier to the crew that created it. Upon sinking it tallies the total 'flow' over time of water of each hole & tier, credits it to the appropriate ship, and the ship with the highest credit wins.
Sounds hella complicated and maybe not worth it because the crew owning the ship is ultimately responsible for keeping it afloat.
@gallerine5582 what do you mean by insane? if its because you could easily target the players responsible then xbox already accomplishes that on its own by showing you recently played with players. i assume he means the ships nameplate as that would make more sense then a single name or a series of names.
