Tiger's design lineage leads toward the G3

The G3 battlecruiser is the closer successor in design thinking, while the Admiral and Renown classes follow different paths.

Question

Which later British capital-ship design most closely continues Tiger's design approach?

Short answer

The G3 battlecruiser is the closer successor in design thinking, while the Admiral and Renown classes follow different paths.

Notes

Tiger does not lead neatly into every later British battlecruiser. The Admiral class follows a different design method, and the Renowns diverge further. The G3 design is the more useful continuation when tracing the ideas behind Tiger into a later generation of fast capital ships.
