Late in war as ASW advanced, destroyers and ASW vessels were assigned to hunter killer "escort" groups and were not attached to convoys, yes.

Japanese ASW was different, read quite a bit that they tended to, overall and for most of the war, give up too soon instead of keeping the hunt up. Hunter Killer type groups similar to ASW were limited/rare.
