Gli Stati Uniti erano ancora neutrali. La USS Kearny stava già sganciando bombe di profondità contro gli attaccanti di un convoglio.
Il 17 ottobre 1941, la USS Kearny (DD-432) fu coinvolta nei combattimenti attorno al convoglio SC 48, circa 400 miglia a sud dell’Islanda. Gli Stati Uniti non erano ancora entrati in guerra. La Kearny prestava servizio di scorta ai convogli nell’Atlantico settentrionale ed era una delle quattro cacciatorpediniere americane chiamate in aiuto dopo che gli U-Boot tedeschi avevano attaccato il convoglio e sopraffatto le sue scorte canadesi. Il comando era affidato al capitano di corvetta Anthony L. Danis.
