Against subs, the 8 escort ships are showing up correctly.

But against warships, the escorts value is showing 0. Is it just a display issue or is it taken into account in the end results?

All right, nevermind, as per manual, this must be linked to this:
The bottom right panel shows all the convoy routes, unused escorts, and assigned escorts next to each convoy route name. Escorts are a support unit. They can be transferred from one zone to another or removed from a zone and placed in the available pool. Escorts protect convoys from submarine units attacking them. Escorts have no effect on non-submarine naval fleets nor can they be affected by them. Only subs have a small chance of sinking an escort during the convoy attack calculations.
