Britain needed the battleships to convoy goods across the atlantic
They were not "given" to Britain at all, but transferred in exchange for use of British bases.
They were not battleships but old destroyers from the latter years of WW1. On average they took 18 months in a dockyard to make them seaworthy enough for convoy protection.
