The unbuilt post-Minotaur medium-cruiser question

The historical discussion closes by asking viewers to imagine the Royal Navy continuing low-rate armoured-cruiser production after the Minotaur class. The hypothetical ships would be built alongside post-Dreadnought battleships such as the Queen Elizabeth class and replace older nineteenth-century cruisers. Viewers are invited to consider what form the next classes might have taken and whether annual batches of three or four, or larger batches of six to eight, would sustain the missing medium tier. The answer is left open, making this a counterfactual design exercise instead of a factual procurement programme. It asks the reader to translate an identified capability gap into a plausible prewar ship-design lineage.
