Why further refits might not keep the cruiser Tiger in service

Further refits are possible, but the cruiser is not expected to be retained; no retirement date is given.

Question

Would the cruiser Tiger remain in service after the hypothetical Falklands deployment?

Short answer

Further refits are possible, but the cruiser is not expected to be retained; no retirement date is given.

Notes

Further refits are considered possible, but the cruiser Tiger is still judged unlikely to be retained. The objection expresses dissatisfaction with the cruisers without specifying technical faults or a retirement date. A panellist's joking wish to send the 1913 battlecruiser to the Falklands concerns a different ship, and the distinction is made explicit.
