Why Haig is imagined in a cruiser command

If Haig had trained for a naval career, what kind of command might suit him?

The suggested role is a cruiser command on a distant station, emphasizing reliability and diplomacy.

The question imagines Haig trained for a naval career and asks about destroyer command. The participants instead place him in cruisers. Their reasoning centers on reliable independent service and the diplomatic demands of distant stations such as South America or the Far East. This is a speculative comparison of professional temperament, rather than evidence that army command experience automatically transfers to naval tactics.
