	The goal of this view is to display the fifty destroyers that the United States turned over to Great Britain, beginning in September of 1940. In May 1940, Prime Minister Winston Churchill appealed to the United States President Franklin Roosevelt, for the use of U.S. destroyers to aid in the protection of North Atlantic convoys. As the U.S. was "officially" neutral in the war, this request was refused. Over the course of the next months, the question was revisited with the joining of Italy to the Axis Powers, the fall of France, and continued devastating losses to British shipping. After legal consultation, FDR determined that the United States could "trade" fifty "over-age" destroyers in exchange for 99 year lease rights on British bases in the Western Hemisphere, without actually being considered as a direct attempt to aid the British in the war, by appearing as a purchase of the old vessels. All but one of the fifty vessels served in the North Atlantic. The U.S.S. WELLES being the exception, as she was damaged beyond repair in a Luftwaffe air strike before refit was completed. Forty-four of the vessels were named for towns that the U.S. and Britain shared names with, the other six after rivers common to the U.S. and Canada.
