Given the size of many convoys, the huge area of ocean covered, the differences in nationalities and language, it was a huge challenge just to keep all the ships steaming in their lanes on a straight course. Zig-zag courses were a nightmare to co-ordinate, especially in bad weather and limited visibility, and with radio communication blackouts and often only a handful of escorts to handle things.

That's probably how the majority of convoy stragglers were generated. Zigged when I should have zagged.
