In reality, during WWII most of escort ships both in the Kriegsmarine and Regia Marina were destroyers. In the end, I won also because of all the losses to convoys, GBR could not replace fast enough while losing IC due to lack of resources. You also help your U-bootes campaign by sinking DD's and keeping the RN always committed (that is the "fleet-in-being" concept, after all). ![]() It will take time, as often these engagements provide small losses to the enemy, but if done well, you are going to lose next to nil and gain a lot of experience.

Second, provide ample support to your Navy. While dealing with the RN, both fleets based in Brest. I have a number of vessels in port, I tend to keep all the fit and seaworthy ones in the main fleet, the ones needing repairs or not useful in the reserve fleet.
