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.
USS Anzio (CVE-57) USS "Anzio" (CVE-57), was a "Casablanca"-class escort carrier of the United States Navy that saw service during the World War II in the Pacific War. Originally classified as an auxiliary aircraft carrier ACV-57, the vessel was laid down in 1942 in Vancouver, Washington by the Kaiser Shipbuilding Company. The vessel was initially named Alikula Bay, but was renamed Coral Sea and redesignated CVE-57 in 1943. "Coral Sea" took part in naval operations supporting attacks on the Gilbert and Marshall Islands, New Guinea and the Marianas Islands. In September 1944, the vessel was renamed "Anzio". As "Anzio", the escort carrier took part in assaults on the Bonin Islands and Okinawa. Following the cessation of hostilities in 1945, "Anzio" was among the escort carriers used in Operation Magic Carpet returning U.S. soldiers to the United States. Following this service, "Anzio" was laid up in reserve at Norfolk, Virginia in 1946. The escort carrier was redesignated CVHE-57 on 15 June 1955 before being sold for scrap in 1959.
