During which conflict were 10 modern Coast Guard cutters transferred on Lend-Lease to Great Britain?

• A. World War II
• B. World War I
• C. Korean War
• D. Civil War

Answer: (A)

World War II saw the United States use the Lend-Lease program to supply essential aid to Allies, including ships, to bolster their war effort. As part of that effort, ten modern Coast Guard cutters were transferred to Great Britain under Lend-Lease to bolster convoy escort duties against German submarines in the Atlantic. This move reflected the broader strategy of supporting Britain before and while the U.S. fully entered the war. The other options don’t fit because Lend-Lease operated during World War II, not World War I, and the Korean War and Civil War occurred outside that wartime context.
