Default Burning Ships In NYGM Convoy

Strange issue here maybe someone can explain.

I come across a large convoy one evening really close to the west coast of England. Just east of AM52 I think? Kinda in that very large bay. Anyway two rows of ships each with 7 per row. I put one eel into a medium and one into a small merchant before I have to exit due to escorts. I see the small go down but not the medium so I return the same night a few hours later. When I get back I see 3 tramp steamers in the convoy (they were there before no damage) with a single fire on thier decks. They are making way just fine in formation but are on fire (small fire just forward of center). Now I did save a few times near the convoy and I did lose sight of it for a few hours while ditching the escorts but I returned the same night to find this. What I am saying is I doubt an airraid as it was at night and I doubt another sub as I was really close to England.

IMPORTANT: The weather has been clear, no precip, light fog, and 11 m/s for two weeks now (using SH-3 Weather 1.5) so could the 11 m/s waves cause these tramps to ignite??

Are they all damaged by 11 m/s wind and seas? Kinda lame...or did my save do it. We are not in port.
