But the debriefing said "It was sunk." not "It has sunk." The former sentence implies a more immediate effect, unlike the latter. Also,

She wasn't sunk during the attack, we have the pictures right here showing her not sunk.

By this logic, you can also argue that Count did not shoot down Full Band since you don't actually see Count fire any weapons at Full Band's plane in Mission 9.
