Perhaps it was out of depth charges? I'm not sure if there is a count of how many they can drop.

They will run out but, will continue to make passes until they lose contact with you. I'm not sure if that is the case here though.

Actually it could be. Some ships on the convoy were on fire. Göring's gay gang can't operate so close to Canada. Don't know if AI subs are depth charged.

But on the other hand, h.sie's wolfpack mod isn't released yet.

Chances are it was an escort that had either run out of cans or wasn't equipped/fitted with any in the first place.

Silent Hunter mystery. Why equip an escort with asdic but not depth charges?

Every commanders wet dream. Very lightly escorted convoy and with only three torpedoes it turns into a nightmare.

Could have decimated it with full load

Probably more a case of the former than the latter.

There's also the opposite - the naval trawlers which have NO detection gear (at least in the beginning of the war) yet still have a rack of ashcans.
