Ship Control Question

Gents -
I am doing the Lions Den scenario, as the USN. My problem is this:
As the Vietnamese PT boats close and launch torpedoes, the AI automatically has my ships turn, run and evade which can be eminently sensible.
However, I would prefer to maneuver, unmask each of my two group's batteries and engage the opposing forces. After all, that is the Manly thing to do...
Implementing new speed and headings (even after deactivating groups and detaching) has no effect and is ignored by the AI. I suspect that I am missing something basic.
Awesome game. Rules are a quick read, with enough similarity to Harpoon to allow rapid assimilation.
Thank You all for your help.
