My memory/understanding disagrees with this. I think actually the fleet's strategy is consulted, and the indicated vehicle types will use their own strategies and break formation, while the types told not to break formation in the fleet strategy, will use the fleet's strategy and stay in formation. So, you cannot have, say, combat ship design A break formation but combat ship design B stay in formation, unless you place them in multiple fleets with different fleet strategies.
