i think that the payment was REQUIRED for the US to be able to give new gear to england by US law. i think if you look at the way the US gives new gear to other countries the gear is never really given but sold at a highly discounted rate. i do think there is a law that keeps us from just giving new gear to anyone. we can give old excess gear in lue of scrapping, but NEW gear has to be payed for (T-16s vs WWI distroyers for example).
