I've seen convoys get disordered like that twice when ships get disabled up front. After an attack, all hell breaks loose and ships swerve across two or three lanes which snowballs into evasive action by everyone. It takes hours for them to get back into formation. Torpedo solutions become difficult because speeds and AOB's are no longer uniform, but smetimes ships stop completely for a few minutes to avoid collisions and sit there like ducks. Escorts have a hard time navigating the mess too, which is good.
