After the German attack on the USS Greer on September 4, 1941, which was the first U.S. Navy ship attacked by a U-boat during World War II, President Franklin D. Roosevelt and the U.S. government took a firmer stance against German aggression. The incident led to increased naval patrols in the Atlantic and a more aggressive policy toward German submarines. Roosevelt famously declared that the U.S. would "shoot on sight" at German vessels, marking a significant escalation in U.S. involvement in the conflict prior to its formal entry into the war after the attack on Pearl Harbor.
