Question about Destroyer Command ship behaviors

The ships bunch into a main group with a few outlying ships going in varied directions. It looks something like this

^ /
I x
I
xx x ---->
xxxxx outlyer
xx
big jumbled, squirming bunch

<--- x x ----->

They are originally in a formation that looks like this:

x x x x x x x x
x x x x x x x x destroyers
x x x x x x x x
x x x x x x x x

x x x x x x x x
x x x x x x x x cruisers
x x x x x x x x
x x x x x x x x

etc.

The chaos is consistent with every ship on the field. They are either in the squirming bunch that slowly makes it's way in relatively the desired direction or an individual outlayer that keeps going in a random direction until it hits land, as I tried to get my crude diagram to show.

The spacing between each ship, both forward and to the side, is increments of .005. By what I mean is, if the first ship is at coordinates:

6.485000,55.915000

then the ship to the immediate right is at coordinates:

6.490000,55.915000

and the ship right below them is at coordinates:

6.485000,55.910000

Make sense? Could it be that I have them spaced too closely? Should I use increments of .010 or more? By the way, thank you so much for the help.
