Service

On 28 March, 1916, a boat accident killed 39 of her crew.[8]

Conquest paid off on 13 July, 1918.[9]

Alterations

Conquest was fitted with a director in March, 1918. This alteration required her pole mast to be replaced with a tripod mast for greater rigidity.[10]

At some point likely after the end of the war, she received a Dreyer Turret Control Table in her TS.[11]
