Default American and Neutral ports

So im thinking of doing some harbour raiding, but i cant remember what happens when u go into a neutral port and start sinking ships. I want to hit the Gulf Coast area, for those oil tankers, does anyone know where i can get the most bang for my buck in the area?
And I went to the Port of Spain, South America, and was dissapointed, only 3 British tanks, but loads of Neutral American tankers/Cargo ships there.

O yeah can i dock at a Neutral port, lets say NYC or Cancun?

You cant dock at a neutral port

If you fire at a Br ship in a neutral port and miss it doesnt matter
If your missed shot hits a neutral ship then you are the enemy of that country for 24hrs if it sinks
Usually they will open fire on you if you hit one of them a couple of times

how much does it take for your career to be ended sinking neutral tonnage? i accidently sunk an american vessel last night but my boat was sunk before I returned to port. is it just a renown loss or is there more penalties?

Not sure on that as havent had it happen too often
I think if you sink a hosp ship ( - 10000 ) and your total renown goes into a minus then its career over
May be wrong on that though

In real life if you fired at an enemy in a neutral port there would be major repercussions. They had really strict rules about that sort of thing.

If that's what you're looking for maybe you should stay in port
