The battlecruiser concept emerged before the First World War as a vessel with the speed of a cruiser and the firepower of a battleship, something achievable by having much thinner armour than true battleships.

This great HD wallpaper shows a British battlecruiser in the inter-war period, cruising peacefully. This stunning image is free to download and enjoy.
