		HMS Blake (C99) was a guided missile cruiser of the Tiger class of the Royal Navy; the only class to have ever served in Royal Navy and the last of the RN cruisers.
		She was named after Admiral Robert Blake, a 17th century admiral who was the "Father of the Royal Navy".
		The refit was very expensive; some say the many millions to convert Blake, and her sister ship Tiger to helicopter cruisers drained much needed resources better used elsewhere.
