Why HMS Warrior retained value at fleet reviews

Why was HMS Warrior kept for fleet reviews after she was no longer a front-line benchmark?

Her appearance and reputation still projected industrial and naval power, making the older ship valuable as a prestige display.

Warrior and Black Prince still looked powerful and carried the reputation of Britain's early ironclad lead even after their combat value had declined. Their long black hulls made an immediate visual claim that did not require a visitor to understand the newest machinery or weapons. Displaying a celebrated older ship advertised what British industry had already achieved and encouraged observers to imagine that the less familiar modern fleet was stronger still. Fleet reviews could retain obsolete ships as instruments of prestige even after they ceased to set the front-line standard.
