Giving up Tiger offers another proposed route to a larger British building programme. The suggestion is to invoke First World War damage and argue for a third replacement. Calling the new vessels battlecruisers would supply a further justification for the claim. They would actually be lightly armoured capital ships prepared for rapid increases in protection. The possibility remains conditional on persuading the other powers to accept that interpretation.

Could replacing Tiger justify a third British capital ship?
The proposed sacrifice of Tiger uses claimed war damage and replacement needs to seek a third new capital ship.
