Well history's #1: Johnny Walker would do a 'creeping attack' with an escort group comprised two sloops (including Stork) and six corvettes Initially his Group was primarily used to escort convoys to and from Gibraltar." One highly successful tactic employed by Walker was the creeping attack, where two ships would work together to keep contact with a U –boat whilst attacking; a refinement of this was the barrage attack, which had three or more sloops in line to launch depth charges to saturate the area with depth charges in a manner similar to a rolling barrage by artillery in advance of an infantry attack. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frederic_John_Walker read the U-boat death toll and weep!
