The campaign fleet is built around speed, with the battlecruisers detached to hunt while smaller ships take scouting and screening roles. Six 32-knot capital ships pursue the target, while Renown and its destroyers follow behind. This organization separates the striking force from the ships that find threats and guard heavier units. Speed can turn a nominal engagement into a pursuit the weaker side cannot escape.
