Destroyer Capability?

Watching Frontiers lets play he metioned that when destroyers were escorting cargo's, they could only go about half way and then turn back due to Fuel. I would imagine that in real life Escorts from the other side would probably meet up with the cargo,turn around and escort them the rest of the way. Now this is real life.

Does Silent hunter 3 represent this? Has anyone ever seen a really (like huge) convoy without escorts? another thing do they run out of depth Charges? I still have had no sucsess evading destroyers.
In time im sure I will get better. But just wondering.
