Boats

In July 1914, the ship was appropriated 42-foot motor launch No. 253, though the boat was not yet delivered from the contractor.[8]

Service

Revenge joined the First Battle Squadron in May 1916 and remained in that formation through the end. From May through November 1917, she served as squadron flagship. In March 1918, she resumed her role as flagship.[9]

Jutland

Main article: H.M.S. Revenge at the Battle of Jutland

Revenge and Royal Oak were the only ships in the class to fight at Jutland.

Captain Ernest Clegg, a company commander on leave from the Western Front was a guest on board during the battle. He left Revenge five days after the battle, and three weeks later was severely wounded. After the Armistice Captain Kiddle invited Clegg back up to witness the surrender of the High Sea Fleet.

Alterations

In December, 1914, Open Director Sights were ordered for all[Inference] her turrets. They were likely in place by her completion.[10]

Revenge received her secondary battery directors in March, 1917.[11]

In 1919, she was selected to receive one of the first six Renouf Torpedo Tactical Instrument Type Bs and one of the first nine Renouf Torpedo Tactical Instrument Type Fs manufactured by Elliott Brothers.[12]
