All of the SH games that I am aware of have a similar problem (SH3, 4, & 5). The game defaults to placing ships 500 meter apart. Unfortunately, some ships are quite large, and require much larger distances between them for proper "convoy keeping", else the "collision avoidance" AI kicks in, and the Artificial is not very Intelligent in this regard. Plus, the escorts have some odd behavior, where they think they have to cut in and out of the convoy's columns. Your boat's very presence is what kicks it all in the teeth...
