BBs and cruiser have limited AI capabilities. They usually follow the waypoints and engage their guns whenever appropriate. DDs are allowed for more initiative. I have even seen them chasing the smaller vessels such as PT boats. Not sure about evading the bigger opponents though.
You may want to try testing the AI abilities by setting some DD as a leader/main vessel of the group which includes BBs and/or cruisers.
