Why HMS Nubian deserved preservation

HMS Nubian is chosen over HMS Eskimo as the Tribal-class destroyer to recreate. Nubian should have been preserved because of the scale of her service to Britain. The emotional reaction to researching the ship's disposal shows how decommissioning can close off opportunities for later public history. The passage is a preservation judgment and does not imply that retaining the original ship would have been inexpensive or straightforward.
