What could an unbuilt warship teach as a museum?

Paper-ship museum choices raise different purposes for an exhibit: preserving an absent carrier type, examining a battleship design, or showing why an aviation battleship was problematic.

Question

Which never-built World of Warships design would the panel have constructed as a museum?

Short answer

The choices include Thunderer, a Montana variant, and Malta, while an aviation battleship is suggested as an exhibit showing the drawbacks of that design compromise.

Notes

A question about building a World of Warships paper ship as a museum produces several different aims. The game's Thunderer is an early choice. A Montana variant is considered, while a Malta-class carrier is favored because it would provide a surviving British aircraft carrier for visitors to explore. An aviation battleship receives a more critical justification: a full-size exhibit could demonstrate why combining those roles was a poor design choice.
