What happened to Lend-Lease equipment after the war

What happened to American Lend-Lease material after it was returned?

Some temporary ships and equipment went back to the United States, but much material was dumped, stored, or scrapped because continued postwar use created repayment obligations.

Lend-Lease did not require every surviving item to resume useful American service. The settlement rules distinguished wartime loss or consumption from equipment retained for postwar use, which could require payment. Britain therefore returned some temporary ships while other material was dumped rather than kept, and the United States often stored or scrapped what came back.
