She recommissioned at Chatham on 25 April, 1913 to serve in the Third Fleet.{{NLJul13|p. 309}}

In the 1913 Manœuvres, as in the prior year, she bore the Umpire-in-Chief, and employed radio sets in adjoining offices to intercept communications of both Red and Blue fleets.  Both fleets were intercepted by ordinary [["C" Tune Gear]] receivers, with a [[Service Gear Mark I*]] set for transmitting, if needed, on "S" wave to Blue with ad hoc arrangements for sending to Reds.  Both fleets could be monitored on "X" wave, and emergency and destroyer waves, by a shared, third receiver.

In late 1917, she started conversion to a minelayer in Hong Kong, but the war ended before the work was completed.

In 1934, her bell was offered for sale to naval officers and others who might be interested, at the price of £5.  Interested parties were to write the Director of Stores and were urged to include any special information which might convey the importance they attach to the bell, in light of the Admiralty's understanding that such items carry great sentimental value.{{ToL|Ships' Bells for Sale|Wednesday, Apr 18, 1934; pg. 4; Issue 46731}}

==Alterations==
In October 1914, the ship was to be given eleven Pattern 1582 Electric Radiators to warm cabins whose stoves could not be used for heating them.{{AWO1914|512 of 16 Oct, 1914}}
