Where might HMS Warspite have been kept if she had survived as a museum ship?
Short answerDevonport or Plymouth would have been a plausible home because Warspite was built there and the major naval base offered both space and a strong historical connection.
NotesA viewer asks where a battleship of Warspite's size could realistically have been displayed. London and Portsmouth are considered, but Warspite's connection to Devonport gives Plymouth a strong claim. She was built at the dockyard, and the city retained one of Western Europe's largest naval bases. The area was also beginning to develop a naval museum, making Devonport a plausible home with enough space and a direct historical connection.
