This article has been checked against the following criteria for B-class status:
From 1955 until 1965, U.S. Navy WV-2/EC-121 "Warning Star" patrol aircraft operated a seaward extension of the Distant Early Warning (DEW) Line from NAS Argentia, initially (1955-1960) between Argentia and the Azores islands off Africa, and then (1960-1965) on either side of Iceland as the Greenland-Iceland-United Kingdom (GIUK) "North Atlantic Barrier." —Preceding

Richard Snow in his “A Measureless Peril… America in the fight for the Atlantic, the longest battle of World War II” (Scribner, 2010,
ISBN978 1-4165-9110-8) states on page 126 that Argentia was “a city given, not leased, to the United States by Britain”…
FWIW
United States Army Bermuda Garrison has a reference-free statement that bases in Bermuda and Newfoundland were not in the "original"
Destroyers for Bases Agreement, and thus bases there were given 99-year leases for nothing in exchange. A look at the sparsely-referenced DFB article shows that it states Bermuda and Newfoundland were part of the deal, as does the US Army's official history by Conn, Stetson, et al "
Guarding the United States and Its Outposts". So I'd say the Newfoundland-Bermuda issue is a technical exception at best, and there is a reference that states otherwise.

I check pages listed in
Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for
orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of
Naval Station Argentia's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.
I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not.
