DD for Bases Question

[gingerbread]

Is this event, or another, supposed to actually provide the UK with anything, like some escorts?

//destroyers for bases
$Information
if_Date=9/2/1940
targetCountry=1
addReportTo=Allies
text=USA Lend Lease destroyers arrive at England in exchange for bases int the Caribbean.
$End
