Unfortunately, you're spot on. The game doesn't recognize neutral ships supplying Britain as valid targets. But that kind of models real life, as Hitler tried to keep the U.S. out of the war as long as possible. They knew very well that the U.S. was supplying Britain, but in order to avoid a public international incident and turning U.S. public opinion against them (remember, the U.S. public sentiment was very isolationist before Pearl Harbor...everyone saw it as Europe's war and Europe's problem) they went out of their way to avoid U.S. ships.
Same goes for ships in convoy. If you sink a neutral, even though it's surrounded by enemy ships, it still counts as a neutral. That part I don't quite agree with, but hey....we gotta work with what the game engine gives us.
