Number of Depth Charges carried by Black Swan and Flower DE's

My personal belief is that they carried various amounts of DC' depending on where they were set to patrol.... Correct me if im wrong, but in war, that seem to be the most obvious. :hmm:

Where the Heck did they store half a hundred depth charges?

You know there's a reason my coset is bigger than even the Captain's quarters. :rotfl:

Warships also replenished there depth charge load when on escort duty. Spare Depth Charges were stored on selected tankers in a convoy, so escorts could get more if they ran out or ran low.

I read this in a book on Jonny Walker and the 2nd support group
