yep Trevally
not only they would do it; they did!
"On 10 April 1941 Niblack dropped depth charges aimed at a German U-boat, the first hostile action between American and German forces during the Second World War."

Anyway, I've another amletic doubt now and I hope tha someone of you can help me to sort it out:
as far as you know, is the side set in DefSide.cfg file affecting only the behaviour of naval and merchant units, or more in general it affects also the possibility to refit in some ports, depending on the "friendliness" of the correspinding nation?
I ask so because in stock game, after its defeat (from oct 1939 on) Poland is set as an Axis nation. This is logical if only land control is conseidered, as Germany had full control on Polish territory.
Though, Polish government-in-exile never surrendered to Axis power, and its army and navy partecipated extensively into the war effort alongside Allied nations (
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polish_...ces_.28West.29). Same goes for Netherlands and Belgium. By taking in consideration this fact, we should set these countries as Allied for the whole duration of the conflict.
Do you think we can safely do it?
