For me - I keep this extra air defence with me. It always leaves after it has attacked something or as said. a save load.

It looks like at some point when you pass these ships and they latch onto you - that you become a group leader with the DD staying at its original bearing and distance untill its orders (bugged script) update.

These orders are updated with a save/load or after it attacks something.

Yeah, this enemy DD started out as part of a perfect circle of 10 or 11 DD's, as soon as my boat came within sight distance (when I started to course change for health reasons) it broke off from the group and I became it's mother....Oh brother. I don't need these kids

I did notice that they're really no problem, as they never seem inclined to attack.

..Yeah, it never even flinched, I think that's it...the group leader theory so...

...if you could tell me how to open the AI editor, if I can, next time it happens I'll save some screen shots or save the file if it's that easy and send it along.
