I seem to remember reading somewhere that surface fleets don't sink escorts, is that correct ?
has happened a few times, can the escorts fight back ?

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.

I think this is just a message error, not actually any escorts sunk.
