So when the British took control of those obsolete destroyers did they rename them or just swap the old USS for an HMS?

EDIT. Nevermind, I answered my own question accidentally while looking up the COmmando raid of St. Nazaire in 42:
"The destroyer was HMS Campbeltown, an obsolete craft. She was previously the Buchanan of the US Navy, transferred to Britain early in the war as part of the Destroyers for Bases Agreement."
