Estados Unidos aún era neutral. USS Kearny ya lanzaba cargas de profundidad contra los atacantes de un convoy.
El 17 de octubre de 1941, USS Kearny (DD-432) se vio envuelto en los combates en torno al convoy SC 48, a unas 400 millas al sur de Islandia. Estados Unidos aún no había entrado en la guerra. Kearny prestaba servicio en tareas de escolta de convoyes en el Atlántico Norte y fue uno de los cuatro destructores estadounidenses convocados para prestar ayuda después de que submarinos alemanes atacaran el convoy y arrollaran a sus escoltas canadienses. El teniente de navío Anthony L. Danis estaba al mando.
