Fleet was in the port of Riga.
If you want to know answers for your questions you can play with me MP game Maybe you will defeat me but I think that MP is far more different from AI game (I don't know becouse I was playing only first 20 turns of AI game long ago... and thouse 8 to show fleet destruction.

On board now, figured it out.

I have had a quick look at the number of convoy losses required, before USA enters the war, and its a very high number off 500 losses at least. The way I read it, the loss of 500 convoy points, has the effect of an alliance swing to the allies off -15% from being neutral.

USA ENTRY GAME EVENTS SCRIPT.

-- USA relationship drops several times when a certain number of convoys have been killed
function ConvoyAttacks(attacker, defender)
if defender.prototype ~= nil and defender.prototype.name == "convoy" then
if attacker.faction.alliance.id == 2 then
if GetEvent("ConvoyAttacks1") == 0 then
local convoyLosses = 0
for faction in game:GetAllianceById(1).factions do
convoyLosses = convoyLosses + faction.luaData.statsCasualties["convoy"]
end
if convoyLosses > 500 then
SetEvent("ConvoyAttacks1", game.turn)
local usa = game:GetFactionById(10)
ChangeFactionAlignment(usa, attacker.faction.alliance, -15)
end
end

if GetEvent("ConvoyAttacks2") == 0 then
local convoyLosses = 0
for faction in game:GetAllianceById(1).factions do
convoyLosses = convoyLosses + faction.luaData.statsCasualties["convoy"]
end
if convoyLosses > 1000 then
SetEvent("ConvoyAttacks2", game.turn)
local usa = game:GetFactionById(10)
ChangeFactionAlignment(usa, attacker.faction.alliance, -15)
end

Goggled this:

2. Economics: Britain, with the world’s most powerful navy, blockaded German ports once the war began, so U.S. trade with the Central Powers fell from $170 million in 1914 to virtually nothing in 1916. On the other hand, the Allies needed U.S. manufactured goods, and because Britain controlled the seas, could get them. U.S. trade with the Allies rose from $825 million in 1914 to $3.2 billion in 1916. Thus, the health of the U.S. economy came more and more to rest on continued trade with the Allies. At the same time, and against the wishes of some Americans who genuinely believed in neutrality, the U.S. loaned huge amounts of money to the Allies so they could continue to purchase American goods. By April 1917, the U.S. had loaned more than $2 billion to the Allies. This gave the U.S. a tremendous stake in the war; if the Allies lost, the U.S. might never recover its loans.

If the North Sea Blockade, was broken, American trade should have resumed.
