Operational note
Why this vessel matters.
Recovered in combat condition with armor scarring inconsistent with the official war log.
Crew testimony implies engagement across an erased carrier screen and a retreat order that never appears in archived operations.
Serves as one of the clearest physical proofs that a returned vessel is not symbolic residue but a mass-bearing warship.
The Valiant matters as an evidentiary threshold: the recovery of a heavy battleship makes the fleet anomaly impossible to dismiss as the story of one small missing ship. Its class, dimensions and recovery condition establish what can be checked publicly. Questions of cause, responsibility and the wider pattern remain separate from this registry entry.
