Why museum-ship cover cannot hide operational readiness

Could an operational battleship be hidden in plain sight as a museum ship during the treaty era?

It might be framed as a Jutland memorial, but public visibility, treaty scrutiny, and the need to protect naval secrets make it an implausible concealed reserve.

The proposal is to hide an operational battleship in plain sight by presenting it as a museum and memorial to the Battle of Jutland. The political idea is intriguing, but a museum ship is conspicuous and other treaty powers could demand equivalent treatment. Period museums could restrict visitors to guided tours rather than open every compartment, which protects some secrets without making the ship invisible. Public commemoration might preserve a hull, but it does not quietly preserve a ready capital ship outside international scrutiny.
