I'd look at the depot ship and find out what flotilla/squadron it served then look up the squadron for what vessels were in it.

EG...HMS Forth...served 2nd submarine flotilla 39-41...and the vessels were:

2nd Submarine Flotilla (Capt W D Stephens on FORTH) - depot ship FORTH (comp 14 May 39), destroyer MACKAY (19 May 19), submarines CACHALOT (7 May 38), NARWHAL (11 Mar 36), PORPOISE (15 Jan 33), SEAHORSE (26 Jul 33), STARFISH (27 Oct 33)
