Sounds like ya had a bit of fun, even if the game was acting wierd.
Side note:
This is just a guess (as while I am a history buff in general, my knowledge of WWII naval warfare is limited to general information), but I'd say the reason a tanker was there would be for carrying fuel for the rest of the task force. For the sake of realism.
Not saying they refueled with it while on the ocean, ofc, but it might be to carry the supply of fuel with them to be used when the task force docked at port.
Again, this is just a guess. Someone else on the forums could probably tell you for sure one way or the other.
