Would the United States still build Lexington battlecruisers?

Without Jutland's criticism of battlecruisers, would Lexington and an American battlecruiser line still be built?

A battlecruiser line is possible, but foreign developments could instead push the United States directly toward fast battleships.

A battlecruiser line remains possible in the scenario. The alternative is to move directly to fast battleships as foreign fleets accelerate. Britain's next capital ships after the Revenge class are expected to move toward 28 knots, while Japan is already considering ships in the 23-to-25-knot range. That changes the design problem from adding fast scouts to a slow battle line to deciding whether the battle line itself should become fast.
