It happened to me once, ages ago - also in the Convoy Attack in the Academy. As I recall, the two escorts came at me from opposite directions, I'd been trying a surface attack and crash dived as soon as the first shells hit the water near me.
The two escorts blazed away at each other. One was sunk, the other left almost dead in the water. I surfaced, finished it off with a few rounds from my deck gun and then had a real turkey-shoot with the convoy.
Never found a reason and never seen it since.
