In my opinion GJO in this situation was allowed to attak all ships of the convoy. Because the ruls of engagement tell us, that an enemy ship is always allowed to attak us and we are always allowed to attak it. If neutral ships are combinied with enemy ships to a convoy, they are all enemy. Neutral ships have to show their neutralilty by showing flags, nautical lights and so on. If they don´t do that and are in convoy with an enemy they are just nice targets.

Every time i spot an enemy ship, i attak (deck gun if possible - otherwile dive for torps) or dive and hide. Running away with high speed is the last way out (if the enemy is slow or water to shallow), because if i get spotted the enemy ship is able to ask for help from the next airbase, anti-sub-group or aircraft-carrier.

I think that in the game, a neutral warship will not attack unless you have attacked a neutral vessel within the last 24 hours. For this reason I figured that I was safe from attack and that proved correct. I am quite certain that any damage to one of the neutral ships would have brought a decisive response.

Yes that´s right. Neutral warships won´t attack you unless you attacked a neutral ship.

In your situation with an enemy ship inside a neutral convoy the neutral ships are not allowed to attack you first but they are allowed to reattack you. But i think that´s very tricky to get inside the programm-code.
