Fisher's fleet reductions also removed useful cruisers

Which ships did Admiral Fisher withdraw under his fleet rationalization program?

Fisher removed almost everything he could justify, including battleships, cruisers, and smaller ships that still had value as overseas presence vessels.

It is misleading to reduce Fisher's fleet reforms to the removal of useless battleships. The withdrawals also reached cruisers and smaller vessels that could still show the flag, cover stations, and perform peacetime presence work. Combat obsolescence and institutional utility are not always the same thing.
