In reality during 1940 and 1941 the Admiralty was concerned about attacks of German Battleships and Cruisers on their Atlantic Convoys. Therefore they used to have old (usually) Battleships escorting the convoys to scare the Germans off.
An example of this was the Operation Berlin

I hope this explains the reasoning for putting Battleships in Convoys in GWX
