Continuous treaty-era construction could bring forward replacement of the Revenge-class battleships and the Renown-class battlecruisers. In this scenario, an F3-style design could replace Renown and Repulse. Tiger might remain useful longer because her larger hull provides a more practical basis for the Royal Navy to retain. The projected retirement order therefore places the two newer battlecruisers ahead of Tiger.

Why continued treaty-era construction could replace Renown and Repulse before Tiger
Regular new construction could replace the R-class battleships early and retire Renown and Repulse before Tiger, whose larger hull is favored in this counterfactual.
