A 16,000-ton British cruiser points toward the Tiger cubs

What would a Royal Navy 16,000-ton cruiser designed in the early 1930s look like?

It would resemble the Tiger-cub concepts, probably with 9.2-inch guns if the rules allowed them.

A much larger British cruiser allowance points toward the family of concepts known here as the Tiger cubs. The design would use the additional displacement for a more powerful cruiser rather than simply enlarge an existing light type. If treaty rules permitted it, the Royal Navy would favor 9.2-inch guns for the main battery. The Tiger-cub concepts provide the closest guide to the likely result.
