Command conandrum

Im the boss right? Over all my ships I design and launch, right. 
Wonder my supprise when my flagship was an old BC amoungst a TF of old BCs. My newest and best BBs was here in the battle designed "Support grp". Well I eagerly steaming forward and ofcourse I faced 4 enemy BBs. Well easy I think, just sail behind my big ships so they could engage them. But no, they wanted to back behind my TF. Soon my group was sinking, burning etc and the brand new ships of mine sailed away.
So, who is my boss?

If you're just one guy you'd be in an office in London or Berlin or Tokyo the whole time. I think whenever there's a tactical engagement you jump into whoever the admiral/captain is there, Quantum Leap-style.


I can't imagine Admiral Tirpitz or Jackie Fisher taking control of the three destroyers guarding convoy IDV-31...

But AI support group's AI can use some work. I don't need to be able to coordinate with them, but they need to know what they are doing rather than running around like headless chickens...
