Transfer of Fast Torpedo Boats To Britain Announced
Washington reports the transfer of about 20 motor torpedo boats to Great Britain as part of aid measures in the battle of the Atlantic. Some boats are submarine capable, and negotiations proceed to build Corvettes in Canada to combat U-boats under lend-lease. Construction aids Canada’s war-material purchases in the U S with American dollars. The boats are ready or near ready for shipment on cargo ships but cannot sail Atlantic routes unaided. This follows the previous destroyer exchange and recent Coast Guard cutter transfers.
