After WW II, England returned a number of our old "4-Piper" Destroyers we supplied on the "Lend Lease" program. We also supplied some to the USSR but it took several years before the Soviets finally decided to pay the "loan" off and give back our Destroyer. But it was in such bad shape she was striken from the list and scrapped.
