Use of US ports to repair RN?

I jsut read that HMS Warspite as being repaired in Puget sound when Pearl Harbour occured - ie from August 1941. This included having her 15" guns replaced.

HMS Malaya was torpedoed on 20 March 1940, and was docked for 4 months in New York for repair, sailing on 9 July - 18 months before the US was in the war.

What's the chances of reflecting this US involvement?

Edit: this was part of the US's "cash and carry" policy prior to lend lease.
