History: The Tiger-class cruisers of 1959–1979 were the last class of all-gun cruisers completed for the British Royal Navy. The Tiger-class cruisers were developments of the Minotaur-class (later renamed Swiftsure-class) light cruisers, laid down in 1942–3, but production of the Light Fleet Carrier was given priority and the Tiger design was viewed as obsolete by 1944 - the extra weight required by war requirements for radar, electronics and AA armament exceeding the structural strength and deep-water stability limits.
Type: Cruiser
SubType: Light Cruiser
