Britain needed destroyers to defend its shipping against German U-boats. The US had dozens of overage destroyers from WW1 that were not being used. The US 'lent' 50 destroyers to Britain, and Britain 'leased' naval and air bases in eight of its Atlantic-coast possessions from Newfoundland to the Caribbean to the US for its own defense. This was in 1941 before the US got into the war but it was selling supplies to Britain.
