Jutland veterans worth preserving

Warspite, Iron Duke, Tiger, and the destroyer Spitfire are the four explicit preservation choices among Royal Navy veterans of Jutland.

Question

Which five Royal Navy veterans of Jutland should have been preserved as museum ships?

Short answer

He explicitly names Warspite, Iron Duke, Tiger, and Spitfire, but does not complete the fifth cruiser choice on air.

Notes

HMS Warspite's long service and famous survival make her the expected first choice. Iron Duke and the battlecruiser Tiger add major-ship experience from Jutland. HMS Spitfire represents destroyers because she fought through the battle and carried a dramatic small-ship story. The discussion begins searching for a cruiser to complete the requested five but never settles on one, so only the four explicit choices can be retained.
