No depth charges?

I finished my first TMO 2.5 + RSRD patrol. "S" boat from Manila, Dec 41

I found a convoy close to Aparri, Philippines, and proceed to do a submerged attack; I managed to sink a 8,000 tons freighter, and then ordered crash dive to 250 feet and then silent run to wait for the escorts

I heard the DDs pinging and closing, but I could not hear any depth charges at all, so here comes my question:
is it possible that the escorts did not carry depth charges? maybe since it was very early in the war? or maybe they threw very far away, but that is unlikely since I heard them pinging/ passing very close to my position

is it possible that maybe some escort types do not carry DC?

thanks
