They may have still attempted to maintain an overall mean course, but it was fairly scattered in the meantime. Secondly, when it was down to two ships left, if I remember right, they did scatter. Like, they became two independents - one when in one direction, one went in the other. I got them both, however.

I think what you've witnessed is ships trying to avoid each other as damaged ships in the formation start to slow down.
If you submerge and watch with the external view I think you'll find everything returns to normal........eventually
