Default Convoy Formation changes when ship sinks

PB,

we were chatting about the convoy changing formation when a ship is sunk.
you had suggested that because the ship that was sunk was the Convoy Leader, the remainder of the convoy dispersed helter-skelter due to lack of leadership.
here is an excellent example, however the ship(s) that sank were NOT the convoy leaders.

First stage.
We are on the surface, we've detected most of the convoy but have not identified all of the members. Winds were 15m/s. Notice the two sinks (Heians). Everybody is still in good order. The time is 0530.



Second stage.
Still on the surface, three minutes later (0533). Notice a third Heian has sunk and the members are starting to disperse.


Third stage.
Seven minutes later (0540). We are submerged. the convoy is still dispersing, sailing this way and that way. this behavior is making me think that the Ubi logic is not distinguishing between a ship lost due to stormy weather and a ship lost to enemy fire.
