Desperate for American munitions, capital goods and food, the Churchill Coalition made a highly unequal exchange of strategic bases in the Caribbean for a handful of old US Navy destroyers, foreshadowing Lend-Lease and the dependence on the United States which Chamberlain and his supporters has been so keen to avoid.
