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.

Famous quotes containing the words design and/or description:
“We find that Good and Evil happen alike to all Men on this Side of the Grave; and as the principle Design of Tragedy is to raise Commiseration and Terror in the Minds of the Audience, we shall defeat this great End, if we always make Virtue and Innocence happy and successful.”
—Joseph Addison (1672–1719)
“Everything to which we concede existence is a posit from the standpoint of a description of the theory-building process, and simultaneously real from the standpoint of the theory that is being built. Nor let us look down on the standpoint of the theory as make-believe; for we can never do better than occupy the standpoint of some theory or other, the best we can muster at the time.”
—Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)
