The "Destroyer for Bases" agreement was signed on 2 September 1940 and can act as open and overt act of US support against the Nazi's and at least an effort to counter the active U-Boat threat. The destroyers in their own right weren't important, they were junk scheduled for the scrap heap and the "Bases"were an even bigger joke. The value of this public and formal agreement signaled to Germany that the US was taking a firm stand to keep the Atlantic open, clear and free.
