Destroyers Stopped at Sea

A while ago, before I transfered to Silent Hunter 4, I was on my way to a patrol zone from France. On my way I spotted a Destroyer on the horizen. As was my policy back then, I ordered Periscope Depth and engines slow. Before by submerged however, I grabbed a quick glance down the UZO.

_________ Destroyer
Range: 7000 or so
Speed: 0.

Hmm.... a motionless Destroyer.

Well, I have a full load of fish, might as well send a couple at him. I mean, he's just sitting there!

Not wanting a spread, I launch Tube one, wait several seconds and launch tube 2. After a short while, I switch over to the TDC. See my two little lines, my cicle with line and the two red....wait.

Two red squares? Right next to each other? Time to Free Cam it. I pan over and find that another destroyer it sitting mere feet from the other one. Almost perfectly aligned. To sum it up, the first fish hit home, and as it sunk the other epassed over it and got the other. Not bad.

So what in-game reason would they be next to each other? Or it is just to simulate supply transfer?
