How should two Lions, six Tiger Cub cruisers, and thirty Town-class cruisers hunt a hostile Tiger battlecruiser?
Short answerForm three hunting groups - one Lion pair and two three-ship Tiger Cub groups - each supported by ten Town-class cruisers and assigned its own search zone.
NotesThe answer divides the available ships into three mutually supporting hunting groups rather than concentrating the entire force. The two Lion-class battlecruisers form one pair, while the six Tiger Cubs become two groups of three. Ten Town-class cruisers accompany each heavy group, giving every search force scouts, numbers, and local support. Assigning separate hunting zones makes it difficult for the lone Tiger to evade contact without eventually meeting a formation strong enough to overwhelm it.
