Britain needed destroyers to defend its shipping against German U-boats. The US had dozens of overage destroyers from WW1 that were not being used. The US 'lent' 50 destroyers to Britain, and Britain 'leased' naval and air bases in eight of its Atlantic-coast possessions from Newfoundland to the Caribbean to the US for its own defense. This was in 1941 before the US got into the war but it was selling supplies to Britain.

Torpedoes were originally launched from torpedo boats in the 1870s. Although TBs were still used, by the Russo-Japanese War of 1904, Torpedo Boat Destroyers (TBDs) were more effective in launching torpedoes; as well as destroying TBs. Which is why they were called "destroyers", because they originally were designed to "destroy (kill)" torpedo boats.
