A battleship label may be procurement strategy

Does the proposed large combatant mean navies are entering a new golden age of the battlecruiser?

Cruiser is the preferred label here; the suggestion that battleship might avoid past cruiser-programme cancellations is explicitly speculative.

Cruiser is the preferred functional label here, with battlecruiser treated as another possible description. One speculative explanation for choosing battleship is an attempt to avoid the cancellation pattern associated with earlier cruiser proposals. No evidence of that motive is supplied. The naming suggestion remains a personal conjecture about the acquisition process.
