A battlecruiser of the Royal Navy, this Tiger was constructed in Clydebank, near Glasgow, Scotland by the same company responsible for the ocean liner Queen Elizabeth 2 (QE2). Construction began in June 1912 and the ship was launched in December the following year. Despite originally being planned as part of the Lion class, she was redesigned at an early stage as a unique vessel. She was the United Kingdom's most heavily armoured Battlecruiser upon the outbreak of World War 1.
