Armoured Cruiser (formerly "cruiser" and then "1st class cruiser" or "1st class armoured cruiser")[Citation needed] is a generic term for a fast capital ship that gained its speed at the expensive of protection and armament.
The name was a contemporary one, and explicitly demonstrates that the diversity of missions and demands for ships of various types had created roles for cruisers that required a substantial degree of protection as well as those that did not. The ones that did, and which would screen the battlefleet most closely in a fleet action were dubbed "Armoured Cruisers".
