Which ten Royal Navy ships scrapped after the Second World War should have been preserved, and where?
Short answerThe priority list includes the four surviving British Tribals, Warspite, Illustrious, Renown, Furious, and representative cruisers, distributed among accessible ports around Britain and Freetown.
NotesThe list preserves both famous individual careers and otherwise-lost ship types, including a Tribal in Africa and Warspite in Cornwall. A national network across Portsmouth, Liverpool, Newcastle, Cornwall, Scotland, and Freetown would keep maritime heritage geographically connected to naval communities.
