Where should a preserved warship be placed in Wales?
Short answerCardiff would be the natural starting point, and HMS Dragon could eventually make a particularly strong Welsh museum ship.
NotesCardiff is the starting point when the discussion turns to a preserved warship in Wales. A ship there, paired with one in Liverpool, would improve access to naval heritage around Wales and western Britain. Looking further ahead, HMS Dragon is identified as a natural candidate because the Type 45 destroyer carries a prominent Welsh dragon emblem. The suggestion connects preservation with regional identity as well as the history of a particular class. It remains a personal proposal for the ship’s eventual retirement rather than an announced museum plan.
