Pennant number

Tiger's number was C 20 and not C 24 as posted. I believe she was in fact launched in 1942 not 41, by the mother of MP Anthony Wedgewood Benn, Lady Stansgate.

John Toplis Surg Lt Cdr (D) Ret. Dental Officer on Tiger 1973-74.

Added the info

Commander:

I added the info on the christening to the history. I also included the dates of keel laying, launching, and commissioning. All of the reference books I have looked at state that she was launched in 1945.

Possible correction of dimensions

Hi.

Jane's in various 1970s editions lists Tiger class length as 550 wl and 566.5 oa after helo conversion. The 555.5 oa currently on this page may be a conflation of these two values. The same Jane's editions agree with the 538 PP and 64 beam values, however.

Cuban missile crisis

I have deleted the following:

Tiger and her sister ship Lion were alongside at Gibraltar in 1963 when the Cuban missile crisis arose; both ships put to sea as tensions rose between the Soviet Union and the United States.

The Cuban missile crisis was in October 1962. In October 1962, the Tiger was in New Zealand (see log of HMS Tiger ADM 53/15881 in the UK National Archives).-- Toddy1 (talk) 10:54, 11 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Accuracy of phrasing

"She remained in service until 1978 when she was put into reserve and marked for disposal"

But the infobox refers to her being decommissioned in 1978. Her sister ship Lion is spoken of differently: "Lion was placed into reserve in 1965 and served as a supply of spares for the other two until decommissioned in 1972 followed by selling for scrap in 1975". Is there a category mistake somewhere here? Harfarhs (talk) 10:17, 25 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
