The discussion argues that British planners expected future conflict to be more mobile and global than the North Sea confrontation of the First World War. They therefore retained an interest in fast capital ships able to support economic warfare and worldwide presence. Thinking associated with Jellicoe and Henderson anticipated the mobile pattern later visible in the Second World War. The eventual fast battleship is framed as a convergence between a faster battleship and a better-protected battlecruiser.
