I believe David Cameron (Brit PM) made the same mistake with Obama last week. Pearl Harbour wasn't until Dec '41... then they decided to help with more than just the loan/lease of a few boats/personnel.

And I thought our educational system was in a shambles.

P.S. Yeah, if a port or ship is green on your map, that's a neutral country/vessel. You are not war with them, period. Although if you fire on a neutral vessel at any time, its nation will consider themselves at war with you for the next 24 hours of game time.

There is still much for me to learn

Germany declared war on the United States on December 11, 1941 - my dad's 14th birthday. On that day you can start shooting American ships.

As was said, with the Lifeboats and Debris mod you cannot harm the lifeboats or the people in them. You can even run them over with your u-boat - they will pass right through you. Gunfire has no effect on them.

Neutrals will treat you as hostile if you fire on them. That country will treat you as hostile and fire upon you and take evasive maneuvers for 24 hours after you fire on them.

You will lose renown for sinking neutral ships. Lose enough renown and it can end your career.

Rule of thumb: If its lights are on it is definitely neutral. Lights off it could be neutral or not - check the flag.

Even the remotest inckling of shooting at lifeboats is revolting. Only one U-boat commander was convicted of such a crime.

Besides the neutrals mentioned above, hospital ships are another No No.
