I suspect there's another advantage to zig-zagging. It should also make it harder for a slower platform (a submarine) to position itself within the arc in front of the faster surface platform which will allow the slower platform to approach within a given range (most likely torpedo launch distance). They don't really care if a submarine has a solution on them, so long as it's kinematically impossible to close enough to shoot.
