Navy Is Delivering
.Desiroyers 10 British
As Needs Arise
Nearly All Of so Are
Believed Fitted Out and
Sent to Cunodu

The Navy Is continuing to make
delivery on the so overage destroy
ers' as the British need them, it
was learned today. The Navy is
maintaining silence on the num-
Der already given the English, bat
it is believed nearly all Of the 1900
ton craft have been fitted out and
taken to Canadian waters.
Ofhcials at the Navy Department
here said that after the last de-
storyer is delivered a full list of the
ships probably will be made public
Since the destoryer-for-bases deal
September 5, no word has been
given out about the ships involved
or how soon they would be trans
ferred to the British.
In some quarters it was believed
that at least IS Of the World War
ships have been taken over by the
English. Reports from Canada and
England have indicated that sew
eral squadrons now are being used
for convoy duty.
At the time of the announcement
Of the exchange it was said the
vessels would be delivered as fast
as the British could supply crews
to man the ships. The vessels orig
inally cot approximately $500, ,00C
each.
During the 20 wears following the
World War large number of these
ships were taken out of commission
and laid up at naval bases in Bos-
ton, New York, Philadelphia, Nor
folk and San Diego.
Shortly after the President de-
clared state of emergency and
established the neutrality patrol the
decommissioned destroyers were re-
called for active duty. In addition
the fleet has been considerably
augmented by the commissioning oi
new l,600-ton destroyers.
Since the first of the fiscal year
II new destroyers have been added
to the fleet. The total now is 81
new destroyers and rs old vessels
The new vessels have been commits
stoned since 1884.
Under the present building pro.
gram, the Navy has los destroyers
under construction.
The so destroyers went to Great
Britain In exchange for naval and
air base rights in the Bahamas
Jamaica, Antigua, st. Lucia, British
Guiana, Bermuda and Newfound-
land.
In some quarters the view was
expressed that If the German sea
raids continue on the present scale
the British would speed acceptance
of the old destroyers.
