Which capital ships deserve preservation?

Which capital ships from the major navies of the First and Second World War eras would you bring back for preservation?

Historically distinctive ships and complete class representation take priority, because preservation value differs from wartime effectiveness.

Restored battleships and battlecruisers are considered as museum ships rather than practical modern combatants. Choices such as Vittorio Veneto, Roma, Haruna, Renown, Warspite, Rodney and Arkansas reflect the value of preserving representative classes and ships with significant stories. Personal attachment matters, as does the chance to preserve a class or national design tradition that has no surviving example. The United States is a special case because several major classes already survive, making an absent type such as an Arkansas- or Alaska-class ship especially attractive. The British choices similarly balance famous service histories against a desire to save ships whose stories or designs are distinctive. A later clarification widens the eligible period from the Second World War alone to capital ships spanning both world-war eras. Preservation value here rests on historical coverage and emotional attachment rather than a ranking of combat power.
