Problem is that as far as I understand the american ships actually saw him. The neutrality zone at this point was 300 nm and by the sound of he may even be in US territorial waters. Even if it is only April that would warrant an hostile reaction regardless. And there is no way that a british ship going up into flames soon after he dives would be regarded as a coincidence...
