Which lost warships would make the best museums?

If you could bring back any ship, which would you choose and why?

Choices include Enterprise, Saratoga, Illustrious, Tiger, Unicorn, Hood, Nelson, Dreadnought, and early carriers, with surviving museums influencing which gaps matter most.

Enterprise is the first American carrier choice, with Saratoga an alternative because her use as a bomb target is also regretted. Clarke initially considers Nubian, then favors ships from types less well represented by surviving museums: Haida already preserves a Tribal-class destroyer and Belfast a cruiser. His alternatives are Illustrious for her wartime record, including Taranto, or Tiger as a battlecruiser visitors could explore. Unicorn offers another basis for a British naval-aviation museum, comparable in purpose to Intrepid in New York. Other preferences include Ark Royal and Hood for their names and associations, Nelson for her Tyneside connection, and Renown or Repulse as alternatives to the usual battlecruiser favorites. Hermes or Eagle would preserve an early carrier design. Dreadnought prompts a further argument about wing turrets, with New Jersey cited as a ship that can point six guns forward without them.
