Die USS Greer erwiderte am 4. September 1941, drei Monate vor der Kriegserklärung des Deutschen Reiches an die Vereinigten Staaten, als erstes Schiff der US-Marine den Angriff eines deutschen U-Boots im Nordatlantik. Als Reaktion auf diesen Zwischenfall gab Präsident Franklin D. Roosevelt US-Kriegsschiffen die Anweisung, nicht erst einen Angriff abzuwarten, sondern sofort zuzuschlagen, wenn sie ein deutsches U-Boot sichteten („shoot on sight order“).
