I think destroyers carry 200 DCs and corvettes 150. In a convoy situation that's a lot of DCs before they run out. I followed a couple of Freetown convoys and they never ran out of cans.
In game each thrower has between 20 and 40 IIRC....so your pretty close to the mark....depending on the number of racks/throwers
