Yes. Germany didn't officially go to war with the U.S. until Dec. 11, 1941 and this is the date in SH3 when you can begin attacking U.S. ships. But in real life, BdU cleared U-boats to start attacking U.S. ships a few weeks before then, when war with the U.S. looked inevitable. The Reuben James was sunk on Halloween in '41 for example.
