Hmm - after seeing one of the other responses, now I'm confused - are you actually looking at the ships themselves from reasonably close range (i.e., from the bridge, or the 'scope), and they're not moving along the surface of the ocean (which is the situation i described in my first response above), or are you just talking about their icons not moving on the Nav map screen (as seems to be what Hedges' response was referring to)?
If it's the latter, then Hedges is correct - the icons on the nav map do not generally get updated in real time - they are just static markers placed at the time the initial sighting report occurs, and they do fade out after a few hours since they have basically become irrelevant/unreliable indicators of position after enough time has passed since the ship would have moved on a good distance by then (and might have changed course etc.) This is not a bug or anything wrong - you just have to develop appropriate interception methods to get your boat close enough to the target ship to spot it visually or on hydrophones and then close in for the kill (unless it's a friendly or neutral anyway).
Good luck and good hunting!
