I take it you are playing stock?

Well how the game spawns ships is "generic freighter" or "generic destroyer"
so that it has a chance of not spawning same ships over and over.

Well the Asashio is on the Destroyer roster, so it gets randomly picked.

MODS like TMO solve this by having a Destroyer and Destroyer escort class.The DE's are the ones usually assigned to convoys and are the lesser escorts and smaller destroyers which were usually the ones tapped for regular convoy duty, esp in later war.The big DD's tended to guard the carriers etc and the more important convoys or were assigned to patrol duties.

Some of the full fledged DD's pulled convoy duty, esp in earlier part of war. Although this was somewhat rare since IJN convoys were not common really until 43 when they sort of woke up.
