Once had this happen to me, was lining up on a strange dwarf convoy (one medium merchant and 7 small and coastal types, escorts one Flower class and two trawlers!) heading SSW at 4 knots. Anyhow, just lining up for a shot at the one decent size target in this collection of small fry, drop my scope for a few minutes, put it back up. Ships weaving all over the place, the flower is listing dead in the water having been in colision with a coastal merchant whis is now moving away due west at 2 knots with a fire on deck! and the rest of the convoy has prety near done a 180 and is headed NE towards the Bristol channel! :P
They can't have been attacked as no one's lit up their search lights and the ships that had completed their turns weren't zig-zagging, but steaming calmly away at 4 knots as before.
Oddest convoy I have ever seen....
