It was Buckley. Another Buckley class, USS England, sunk five Japanese subs in seven days, and assisted in a sixth five days later. Not the highest over all, but an impressive run.

I read somewhere that the US Hunley (A Destroyer Escort) rammed a U-Boat and the CO gave the order: "Prepare to repel boarders!"---the first time since the War of 1812 that order had been given...

Check out HMS Starling, a Black Swan class sloop. She took part in the sinking of 15 U-boats June 43- Jan 45:

Wasn't there a Brit group that racked up quite a total in the North Atlantic?

edit: found this, but this is a group, not a single hunter/killer

After a cursory search on the internet, I couldn't find any one ship that could lay claim to that title. But as far as hunter-killler groups went, the ships centered on USS Bogue racked up a total of 13 submarines which included the Japanese I-52.
