In WitP terms, Queen Elizabeth and Valiant werent sunk. Same as California, West Virginia and perhaps one more US BB. They were raised and repaired.

They were sunk, It was just that they sank in water shallow enough to be raised. If you carry yoour arguement through to its logical conclusion, you could say that the German Fleet at scapa flow wasn't really sunk because most were eventually raised. The same would go for all the IJN and German ships sunk in harbour at the wars end, they were eventually raised and scrapped.

Yes but in more than one case the German ships were raised floating upside down which makes them harder to defend as not having been sunk. [:'(]
