Ian Lowe haspaintedHMS Tigeras she appeared in the mid 1960s"before her looks were spoiled.Aesthetically the class were well balanced and handsome ships and I wanted to show her as she was intended, at sea, the last classic ‘big gun’ cruiser."

Laid down at John Brown’s Clydeside yard in October 1941 as a light cruiser of theMinotaurclass she was originally namedBellerophon; with pressures of wartime construction progress was slow, the renamedTigerwas not launched until October 1945; onlySuperbof the class was completed as designed.Construction ofTigerwas suspended along with two sister ships in 1945.She lay in a basin at Dalmuir for many years. In 1954 it was announced that the three cruisers would be completed to a much modified design asTiger, LionandBlake.
