Strange acting American Flower Corvette

Was sailing south thru grid EH98 early november 1943 when i ran across the strangest contact. There was a Brazilian medium cargo followed by a Brazilian modern medium merchant followed by an American Flower Corvette. It seemed strange that the corvette was last in line trailing by nearly 1000 meters.
I closed to about 4000 meters between the 2 Brazilian ships and let go 2 salvo's of 2 TIII's at each. Both eels hit the medium Cargo and 1 hit the modern and both ships went down. After firing i turned north and brought the corvette into my scope expecting his charge towards me. Instead of coming at me he goes back 2000 meters in the direction he had come from and proceeds to start circling there. After circling for about 20 minutes he resumes the course they were all on and starts heading north at 5 kts oblivious to me being in the area.
It was clear to me that the skipper of this boat was either in shell shock or on drugs not sure which. I had positiioned my boat where he would come across my stern within 650 meters after he returned to his northward course. I was nervous as he neared and my stealth meter became crimson red but his earlier behavior had convinced me he was oblivious to his surroundings..... sure enough he never waivered from course even as a TIII ripped thru the side of his hull

i am GWX 1.03 compliant
