By late-May it was realized that neither could be made ready in time for deployment and work was stopped. Though Chile showed a faint interest in acquiring Tiger (and sister-ship Blake), this did not get past the discussion stage, and Tiger lingered on tied to a mooring buoy in Portsmouth Harbour. Tiger existed in a slowly deteriorating condition until mid-1986, when she was sold for scrap. She was towed to Spain and scrapping started in October 1986.pero tambien en otro foro de ex navys:As has been mentioned earlier, both Tiger ('Liger') and Blake were never serious contenders for reactivation for the Malvinas due to being stripped of too many parts. However, if the one in the best material condition had not been stripped and the other fully canibalised to keep the former going in an emergency would having a single RN helicopter cruiser have been a viable option? All you would get would have been another 4 SeaKing helicopters and an impressive 6-inch gun battery (assuming it is working of course). Such a vessel might well have been ideal for the recapture of South Georgia as it would have been quite capable of transporting a reinforced company of Royal Marines, four heavyweight helicopters and provide suitable shore bombardment capabilityotro forista:Agreed. Both Tiger and Blake were given the proper dehumidification treatment when paid off, but within months in both cases the dehumidifiers were removed and the stripping started. If Phalanx units had been available in 82 (the first two RN units were installed in Illustrious before she sailed, and there is still some question of wether they were ordered pre Malvinas or fitted as a UOR) then two of these would at least give a single Tiger adequate close in defence in place of the Sea Cats. Probably more useful in San Carlos than any of the missile systems deployed historically. The 6inch guns on the Tigers were fully operational right to the end, and the reports of jamming are often exaggerated. They were fixed by the end of Tiger's first commission and the only real problem with the Tiger's main armament was that they could empty their own magazines in twenty minutes at max rpm! The 6 inch shell did have a longer reach than the 4.5inch and made a much bigger hole with a bigger bang, important for NGFS when trying to intimidate the enemy! es polemico hasta en UK el tema pero que lo intentaron no tengo dudas.</blockquote>
