What did Great Britain propose to the US in exchange for the loan of 50 destoyers?

Thus the Americans gave ships to the British and the British gave them base rights return.

What was the purpose of the so called Destroyer-Bases deal Why was it controversial?
3 September 1940: US Congress approved the transfer of 50 WWI-era destroyers to the British in return for 99 year leases of naval bases in British territories (Antigua, St. Lucia, Trinidad, British Guiana, Bahamas, & Jamaica) in the Caribbean Sea & at Argentia, Newfoundland.The purpose was to quickly provide Britain with large numbers of escort vessels that could be used to protect convoys from the German U-Boat menace in the Atlantic Ocean. The US as an officially neutral nation could not openly give military equipment to Britain without some form of payment. That form of payment was the British granting of leases (usage) of British bases to the US. There were some critics of the deal: some thought the deal violated US neutrality; some British thought the deal was too favorable for the Americans.In reality it was a win-win deal for both parties. The US was able to expand & improve these bases that could be used by both British (incl. Canadian) & American air & naval units to help provide coverage for British convoys. The bases gave the American military places to operate from that were closer to the geographic locations being supported. The destroyers provided to the Royal Navy were modified by them to enhance their range & ASW capability.
