Design and Description
Tiger was the sole battlecruiser authorised in the 1911–12 Naval Programme, although it has been suggested that a sister-ship named Leopard was to have been begun in the 1912–13 Programme, then was deferred until 1914 as a sixth member of the Queen Elizabeth-class. There is no record however of any additional battlecruiser being provided for in any naval estimates before 1914.
