In what Australian city did the United States ship supplies in 1943 as part of the Lend-lease policy during WWII
Lend-Lease The Lend-Lease policy, formally titled "An Act to Promote the Defense of the United States", (Pub.L. 77–11 , , 55 Stat. 31 , enacted  11, 1941 ) was a program under which the United States supplied Free France, the United Kingdom, the Republic of China, and later the Soviet Union and other Allied nations with food, oil, and materiel between 1941 and August 1945. This included warships and warplanes, along with other weaponry. It was signed into law on March 11, 1941 and ended in September 1945. In general the aid was free, although some hardware, such as ships, were returned after the war. In return, the U.S. was given leases on army and naval bases in Allied territory during the war. Canada operated a similar smaller program under a different name.
HMAS Gympie HMAS "Gympie" (J238/M238), named for the city of Gympie, Queensland, was one of 60 "Bathurst"-class corvettes constructed during World War II, and one of 36 initially manned and commissioned solely by the Royal Australian Navy (RAN).
