A missile-and-gun cruiser for the imagined 1980s fleet

Would the proposed Royal Navy need a successor to the Tiger-class cruisers?

A cruiser is possible, but the suggestion is a much larger missile-and-gun ship developed from the Type 82 concept.

The proposed fleet could include a large missile-and-gun cruiser. Its suggested starting point is a greatly enlarged Type 82, reaching about 15,000 tons. The imagined armament includes two twin Sea Dart launchers, three or four Sea Wolf launchers, guns, and helicopters. This is a speculative design for the counterfactual fleet, with a broader role than simply following the Tiger class.
