Preserving HMS Lion without a concrete grave

If HMS Lion had been preserved after disarmament, how might Britain have berthed the ship?

A concrete berth or protected dry dock was plausible at the time, although wartime demand for dock space could still have displaced the museum ship.

Embedding a steel hull in concrete was not yet widely understood as destructive, as Mikasa's preservation later showed. Britain might therefore still choose a concrete berth for Lion. Another option would use the ship to protect an existing dry dock from redevelopment by turning the site into a historic attraction. Wartime demand could overturn either plan if the dock were needed for active naval work.
