How might a recommissioned and heavily modernised HMS Tiger be used in the Falklands War?
Short answerShe would probably protect the carrier group and move to the naval gunfire line at night, while heavier battleships supported the amphibious force.
NotesThe use of a heavily modernised Tiger-class cruiser would depend on whether she joined the amphibious or carrier task group. A cruiser would probably remain primarily with the carrier group, while a retained battleship more naturally accompanied the amphibious force. Tiger could still detach to the naval gunfire line at night. Task-group assignment can matter as much as an individual ship's weapons when judging usefulness.
