Re: Sorties vs Ships Sunk

The best documented studies, I believe, were by the US in the Pacific and CBI theatres. These were at the Naval Operational Archives in Washington but may have now gone to the National Archives.

OPERATIONS RESEARCH IN THE RAF, the older volume, includes some of the use of OR in anti-ship tactics that may be able to point you to studies at Kew.

The most efficient anti-shipping attack of the European war was, to my knowledge, the German one that sank two of their own destroyers in 1939.
