How useful would a Tiger-class cruiser have been during the Falklands War?
Short answerIts greatest value would likely be command facilities and helicopter support, addressing a capability gap at San Carlos.
NotesThe class would be valuable less for extra anti-aircraft fire than for acting as a command ship. San Carlos lacked the staff space and facilities that a larger cruiser could provide. Hangar capacity would also improve helicopter maintenance, including work under cover at night.
