AI Carriers ship positions

SOH-CM-2025
I am seeking info on how to make the adjustments to the location of the ship(s) in any of the cfg files in AI Carriers

for instance

[formation.0]
title=USS Coral Sea CVA-43 1965
unit.0=CVA-43 USS Coral Sea 1965, 6, -35
unit.1=VEH_cruiser01, -3000, -1000 <<<< I know these values place a ship in a certain location.
unit.2=VEH_destroyer01, 3000, -1000
unit.3=VEH_destroyer01, 200, -8000
unit.4=VEH_destroyer01, 900, 7000
unit.5=UH2_CV43_guard, -130, -80

I'd appreciate if anyone can explain what the two values are for.
I would like to adjust either unit.2 or 3 so that it is following unit.0 (Training in wake of carrier as in a plane guard) perhaps quarter mile or so)

I've attached some examples

This is one where DD is trailing in carriers wake.

The formation title can be whatever you want.

The unit names have to match the name in the AI ships sim.cfg file exactly.

The numbers after the unit name are the X and Y coordinates.

Unit.0 always has 0, 0 for its X and Y coordinates.

The two number values after the unit are the X (left/right) and Y (front/rear) coordinates as they relate to unit.0 (which is why it always has values of 0, 0).

Positive values move the X coordinate forward and the Y coordinate to the right of unit.0. Negative values move the X coordinate to the rear and the Y coordinate to the left.

The X and Y coordinates are measured in meters, not feet or yards.
