Blockade? What Blockade?

How in the heck are we supposed to be blockading England when American ships can sail in and out with decks loaded with cargo?

Its may 1940 and I am in the main inlet area BF53 north of Ireland and I get two visual contacts. I race to engage these fat cows on the horizon. As I get closer I rub my hands together greedily. No escorts and two Fat boys bigger than that bloat Churchill himself!

How can this be I thought.

Are the Tommies getting comfortable? I identified one heavy merchant and one C3 Cargo. I order the deck gun manned and just before I give the order to commence firing I notice the stars and stripes waiving in the breeze. My lookout breaks out in a heavy German accented version of the Star spangled banner, I hit him with my hat.

Under the rules of a Blockade would they be legal targets heading fully loaded into English Waters?
