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.
