If HMS Tiger survived the treaty period, how might the Royal Navy modernize and employ her in the Second World War?
Short answerShe could receive a major reconstruction and serve as another fast capital ship for raider hunting, Norway, the South Atlantic, or the Far East.
NotesHMS Tiger's survival would depend first on her condition and capacity for modernization. Her comparatively open design might accept 14-inch weapons, improved machinery, and stronger air defence, giving the Royal Navy another fast capital ship. She could hunt raiders in the South Atlantic, operate off Norway, or reinforce the Far East. In each case, her speed would make her more useful than an old slow battleship.
