THU 15 AUG 1940
British Prime Minister Churchill responds, encouraged and grateful, to President Roosevelt's telegram of 13 August 1940; "the worth of every destroyer that you can spare to us is measured in rubies ..." The "moral value of this fresh aid from your Government and your people at this critical time will be very great and widely felt."
Assistant Chief of Naval Operations Rear Admiral Robert L. Ghormley, Major General Delos C. Emmons (USAAC), and Brigadier General George V. Strong (USA) arrive in London for informal staff conversations with British officers.
Naval Air Station, Miami, Florida, is established, Commander Gerald F. Bogan in command.
Destroyers Walke (DD-416) and Wainwright (DD-420) reach Bahia, Brazil.
