First World War ships imagined in the missile age

Which First World War warships would the panel retain and upgrade into the missile age?

Tiger is the British preference, while Texas and Wyoming produce American alternatives. The imagined roles include missile armament, convoy air defence and gunfire support.

Tiger is the preferred British candidate, with Hood mentioned as technically eligible because she was laid down during the First World War. Texas is proposed for an Iowa-style modernisation. Wyoming prompts a more specialised air-defence escort proposal using Terrier launchers, with the argument that a slow battleship could still accompany slower merchant traffic. Another suggested 14-inch-gun conversion removes middle turrets to provide machinery and missile space, retains forward heavy guns and uses aft space for further weapons. That proposal is assessed as a possible bombardment and support ship. Engineering feasibility and cost remain untested for these imagined reconstructions. The captions do not securely identify the 14-inch-gun hull.
