IIRC when you save close to any ships, when you reload the ships in the vicinity of you Uboot "forget" their waypoints and might act strangely. Just like escorts helping you out of the harbour running into the beach, convoys stopping scattering in all directions ending up the ships moving back and forths trying not to collide or stop completely or some odd things like that. Your cases sound just like that.
Hope this helps
