35_130 | The ship's helicopter squadron increased the ship's peacetime complement to 885 (85 officers and |
35_131 | 800 ratings), which put a strain on accommodation for the crew. |
35_132 | During reconstruction and in the following years, material cannibalised from Lion was used to patch |
35_133 | both Tiger and Blake. Tiger reportedly had so much material from Lion that her crew nicknamed her |
35_134 | "HMS Liger". |
35_135 | She was recommissioned on 6 May 1972. Her large crew made her an expensive ship to operate and |
35_136 | maintain. When the economic difficulties of the late seventies came around, this led to a defence |
35_137 | manpower drawdown that resulted in manpower shortages; although Tiger remained in service long |
35_138 | enough to take part in the 1977 Silver Jubilee Fleet Review in celebration of Queen Elizabeth II. |
35_139 | Decommissioning and disposal |
35_140 | In 1978 Tiger was placed in reserve, and decommissioned on 4 May 1979. She was put on the disposal |
35_141 | list in 1979. Both Tiger and her sister-ship Blake were listed as part of the Standby Squadron, |
35_142 | and moored inactive at HMNB Chatham. |
35_143 | When the Falklands War broke out in early April 1982, both ships were rapidly surveyed and it was |
35_144 | determined both were in very good material shape, and both were immediately drydocked (Tiger in |
35_145 | Portsmouth and Blake at Chatham) and recommissioning work was begun. |
35_146 | Whilst there was speculation that their 6-inch guns would be useful for shore bombardment, the real |
35_147 | reason for their potential deployment was the size of their flight decks (at the time the third |
35_148 | largest in the Royal Navy after the aircraft carriers and ), and the potential to use them as |
35_149 | mobile forward operating and refuelling bases for Task Force Harriers. (Blake had already operated |
35_150 | RAF Harriers briefly for proving trials in 1971, and Harriers had refuelled on Tiger). Their |
35_151 | benefit would be more as platforms to extend the range and endurance of the Harriers and as a |
35_152 | refuelling stop on the way back to the carriers, rather than as somewhere to operate offensive |
35_153 | missions from, or as somewhere to place a pair of Sea Harriers as an extended-range Combat Air |
35_154 | Patrol ahead of the two carriers (and reducing their own exposure to air strikes), but the need to |
35_155 | take off vertically rather than the use of a ski-jump severely reduced the Harriers' endurance and |
35_156 | weapons carrying capability, and in late May 1982 after the loss of the destroyer and the |
35_157 | Argentinian cruiser the refits were stopped. |
35_158 | There were also doubts about the two ships' self-defence capabilities, (the 6-inch and 3-inch |
35_159 | armament had never been reliable) and this coupled with the large complement (and potential loss of |
35_160 | life if one of the cruisers was to be lost), caused much anxiety in the Admiralty. That, along with |
35_161 | where to find 1,800 capable and qualified crew in a hurry at a time when the Royal Navy was already |
35_162 | down-sizing, sealed the two ships' fate. The UK simply could not afford its own Belgrano disaster, |
35_163 | either materially or politically. |
35_164 | Although Chile showed a faint interest in acquiring Tiger and sister-ship Blake, this did not get |
35_165 | past the discussion stage and Tiger lingered on, moored in Portsmouth harbour. Tiger existed in a |
35_166 | slowly deteriorating condition until mid-1986, and following competitive tendering she was sold for |
35_167 | scrap to Desguaces Varela of Spain. She was towed to Spain and scrapping started in October 1986. |
35_168 | One of her 3-inch guns is on display outside TS Tiger Leicester Sea Cadets, Leicester. The gun may |
35_169 | have been removed from HMS Tiger during her 1950s refit. |
