The conversions left "Tiger" and "Blake" some 380 tons heavier with a full displacement of 12,080 tons and their crew complements increased by 169 to 885. Originally, "Lion" was also to have been converted, although this never materialised: "Blake"s conversion had been more expensive than envisaged (£5.5 million) and so funds were no longer available. At £13.25 million "Tiger"s conversion cost even more such was the level of inflation at the time. After much material was stripped off her for use as spares for her sisters, "Lion" was subsequently sold for breaking up in 1975.
