It helped Britain maintain its vital supply lines.
Explanation: the U.S. transferred 50 destroyers to Britain for use as convoy escorts and anti-submarine duties, strengthening protection of Atlantic shipping. The destroyers were older WWI-era ships (not the newest), and the deal was an exchange for base leases, not a loan for arms or recruitment aid.
