How would the Royal Navy use large numbers of Tiger Cub cruisers and cruiser carriers under a modified treaty system?
Short answerIt would organize them as paired cruiser-carrier squadrons, combining aviation with escorts strong enough to overwhelm ships such as the Panzerschiff.
NotesTiger Cubs would form squadrons with cruiser carriers, creating mutually supporting surface and aviation groups. This is an enlarged version of historical task-group practice rather than an entirely new doctrine. The powerful cruisers would also make the Panzerschiff concept much less attractive. Even one Tiger Cub could become a dangerous opponent for a commerce-raiding heavy cruiser.
