What preserving HMS Agincourt might have changed

The counterfactual begins with Agincourt's 1921 sale to shipbreaker Thomas Ward, for which sources give different total prices. The ship was broken up at Inverkeithing in January 1923, showing how quickly the seven-turret battleship disappeared. Survival through another war might require an unusual role, such as duty as a distant guard ship, that protected her from disposal and combat loss. If she then reached the postwar era, Portsmouth would still need a berth large enough to make preservation practical. Historical importance alone rarely determines which capital ships become museums.
