Sounds like you're running GWX. They've included the real life radio messages sent to the boats, and while if you were truly a u-boat Kaleun in October of '41, Doenitz would probably be fine with you sending American merchants that were aiding Britain to the bottom.
SH3, on the other hand, counts Americans as neutrals up until Dec 12th of '41. You can check this for yourself by scrolling over America in the nav map. Are the cities still green? Neutral. Not until they turn red are American ships counted as enemies.
The penalty for sinking neutrals is that their renown value is deducted from your total. Be careful who you sink!
