The Tiger-class cruiser eventually went through a helicopter cruiser conversion, but alternatively, it could have underwent a AA cruiser conversion where some of its turrets were replaced with Sea Dart missiles. The large size of the cruiser would have allowed more launchers and storage ammunition to be accommodated, reducing the blind zone of the missile and increasing AA firepower in the same time.
Such cruisers would probably had worked much better than the Type 42 destroyers in the Falkland War.
