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:
“Westerners inherit
A design for living
Deeper into matter—
Not without due patter
Of a great misgiving.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“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)
