Gotta ask naval enthusiast to be sure, but afaik that's a lot of ships (65 of them) to be refitted for something that destroyer escorts aren't expected to use very often, and all those torpedoes could've gone to ships that could put them into fleet destroyers. It doesn't mean much for USN cause are less nitpicky about their destroyers having no torpedoes (being able to intercept torpedo boats and subs is good enough for their DEs).
