A Tiger-class cruiser in San Carlos Water

How would a Tiger-class gun cruiser have fared with the Falklands task force?

As Clapp's command ship in San Carlos Water, it is expected to provide staff accommodation and enough three-inch gunfire to drive off attacking aircraft.

Used as Commodore Clapp's command ship, a Tiger-class cruiser would offer room for his staff and comfortable accommodation. Its rapid-firing three-inch guns would add dense local air defence in San Carlos Water. The counterfactual predicts that Argentine aircraft appearing over the anchorage would face enough gunfire to force them away and prevent the losses suffered there. That strong prediction rests on the cruiser's command facilities and gun battery in this hypothetical deployment.
