Yes. From May to September of 1942, German U-Boats torpedoed and sank 56 American merchant ships and 6 Mexican oil tankers.

In fact, the sinking of the Faja de Oro Mexican oil tanker, torpedoed close to the shores of Cuba (23.5°, -84.4°) precipitated the entry of Mexico into World War 2 on the Allies side.
