Which First World War capital ships matter in a second war?

Which First World War capital ships would be worth carrying into the Second World War?

The best choices are generally the newest, fastest, and most protected ships, such as Queen Elizabeths and later German battlecruisers, rather than simply the most famous names.

For Britain, Queen Elizabeths or the more heavily protected later battlecruisers are preferable to older fast ships with inadequate original armor. Similar choices for France, Germany, Russia, the United States, Japan, and Italy prioritize the most modern available designs. Radar, refits, and operational role would still decide whether any transferred ship became useful. The exercise rewards survivability and adaptable machinery rather than fame or raw gun count.
