Why Anson is the plausible battleship for independent India

Which British capital ship might have been transferred to India at independence?

HMS Anson is the most plausible choice among the King George V-class battleships.

An elderly Renown would be too worn, making the modern King George V class a more plausible source. The lead ship's royal name makes her politically difficult to give away, while Duke of York's North Cape association also favours preservation. Howe was the newest member of the class. By elimination, Anson becomes the likely transfer. Names, service histories, and remaining life could matter as much as raw capability in a decolonization-era handover.
