Five British warships worth preserving

Which five British warships should have been preserved after the Washington-era scrapping?

Warspite, Illustrious, a V and W-class destroyer, HMS London, and HMS Furious would represent battleship, carrier, destroyer, cruiser, and experimental development stories.

The V and W-class choice captures service across both world wars, while London represents the County-class cruiser story. Furious is the wildcard because her successive configurations reveal the experimental path from battlecruiser concepts to aviation at sea.
