You're able to bring back one historical warship for preservation to act as a museum ship. Which one do you choose?

Why, HMS Warspite of course!

She fought and was heavily involved in both World Wars, from the battle of Jutland, helping put a stop of the onslaught of the German battlecruisers, to the Invasion of Normandy, shelling german positions for as long as she could.

okay so i am having a couple of thoughts.

the trope of "sapient war machine is converted for civilian purposes", but with battleships. and not in the boat girl anime kinda way, just give HMS Warspite a soul and set her upon the world.

I might write that as a short story.
