When it comes to Tiger, her career as an all-gun cruiser wouldn’t last long.

In total, 3 ships were built: Tiger, commissioned in March 1959 Lion, commissioned in July 1960 and Blake, commissioned in Marck 1961. The main battery would be completed with three twin 76.2 mm gun turrets as a secondary battery. This new design would incorporate the twin auto-loading 152 mm gun turrets of the Minotaur-class but, instead of having five of them, it would only be two with one at the front and one at the rear. In 1948, a massive redesign would occur, resulting from works on the never-built Neptune-class and Minotaur-class. In 1945, Tiger was launched, partially constructed… only to have, again, work on her being suspended in 1946. However, due to low priority, the work on the ship was never completed.

Initially, the ship was laid down as part of the Swiftsure-class of light cruisers in 1941. HMS Tiger was the lead ship of the Tiger-class cruisers, last all-gun cruisers ever built for the Royal Navy. In any case, here is what I think about this ship. Yes, I just dug up a War Thunder meme from November 2018 because it’s just the best possible representation of the Tiger ’59… Now everyone says hello to our dear TIGOR!

As it was revealed with the patch note for Update 0.10.4, the Tiger ’59 is now final and available for 11 300 doubloons in the Armory or in the Premium shop.
