Tiger remained close enough in length and beam to Lion and Queen Mary that the three could operate as a coherent group. From the front their similarities made quick recognition difficult. The clearest distance clue was funnel arrangement: Tiger concentrated all three forward, whereas Lion and Queen Mary had two forward and one farther aft. Her 704-foot length, 90-foot-6-inch beam, and 32-foot-5-inch draft are also compared with modern Queen Elizabeth-class aircraft carriers to give a sense of scale.
