Note that when ships are in colunm, if you're observing them at an angle of, say, 45 degrees to port and the angular difference between ships is 10 deg, once the ships are ahead of you, the angular difference between them will have increased, possibly up to 90 degrees or more. Be mindful of this - could it have been your problem?
Knowing convoys, the only way ships following one another will be seperated by 10 degrees when ahead of you is if you're a long long way away.
