Question

Would an 18,000-ton guided-missile cruiser logically follow the Tiger class?

Short answer

It would be a logical complement, though not necessarily a direct follow-on.

Notes

The large cruiser would be a logical adjunct rather than a direct follow-on. It would serve as a complementary high-end combatant rather than another step in the same conversion lineage.
