Most of the convoys I encounter are indeed in an echelon type formation, but they apparently reverse it from time to time during the mission.

I was plotting a convoy the other day and noticed them in this formation with the close ship ahead of the rest. I thought this would be good for a fast 90 attack if I approached from the other side so I got ahead and crossed over to the port side, but by the time they got to me, they had reversed their order and I found myself with the close ship ahead again.

I've also noticed that sometimes they also change course close to the beginning of a mission.
