That is what I meant, something along the lines of HMS Victory or USS Constitution.

Well, sorta like that, but not technically a museum ship.

As this seems to have died a death, here's a new question to kick start the thread.

What airborne operation was legal during WW2 is now illegal under the latest rules of war?

Probably all of them given todays politics but I will start with operation oak.

The answer I was looking for is operation Chastise, the dam busters raid on German Dams would be illegal under todays rules of war.

Training Carriers, but, nope! Vintage ship, but not Constitution or Constellation.

There was the USS Reina Mercedes which acted as a barracks in the early 1940s.
