The year 2022 offered a useful point to study cruisers because it marked the centenary of the Washington Naval Treaty. The planned sequence begins with County-class ships, then moves into American treaty cruisers and the cruiser traditions of other navies. Mine warfare, Italian classes, and the historical development of cruiser purposes broaden the programme beyond treaty displacement figures alone. The outline gives viewers a route from individual ship designs to the strategic and institutional choices that shaped an entire category of surface warship.
