Reserve Warspite after the Falklands

What happens if Warspite is held in reserve and remains available for later reactivation?

Assuming Warspite had avoided severe salt erosion, she would probably be reactivated after the Falklands. VLS and helicopter facilities would improve her usefulness as a command ship alongside four 15-inch guns.

This counterfactual assumes Warspite has somehow avoided severe salt erosion while held in reserve. Under that assumption, she would probably be reactivated after the Falklands War. Substantial VLS and helicopter facilities would improve her usefulness as a command centre. The imagined ship retains four 15-inch guns, compared with the nine 16-inch guns of the American battleships discussed alongside her. The American broadside would be larger, but a 15-inch shell would still pose a serious threat.
