A rebuilt Renown’s route to museum preservation

How might a fully rebuilt HMS Renown serve after 1945 if HMS Vanguard did not exist?

She could serve into the early 1960s and then have a strong chance of preservation as a veteran of both world wars.

The scenario gives HMS Renown a complete modern reconstruction in 1945 while Vanguard disappears. Her large hull would leave room for later alterations, allowing service at least comparable to Vanguard’s and perhaps longer. If she remained useful into about 1960, her First World War origins could make her an inherited historic asset rather than merely another obsolete capital ship. A follow-up suggests that Renown and Belfast could both be preserved because each would have accumulated a distinct claim on public memory.
