Easy enough, google frégates/destroyers etc
In example, frégate River class had up to 150 depth charges...for one ship!
Little destroyer class Hunt type III had 110 depth charges.
Testimonies from Kaleuns who survived (like H.Werner) mentioned hard attacks with more than 300 depth charges launched for dozens of hours...

So yes, 130 DC with 3 DD is small average.
