In July 1914, the ship was appropriated 42-foot motor launch No. 264, though the boat was not yet delivered from the contractor.[9]

Main Armament

Monarch was built with 13.5-inch Mk II mountings for her guns.[10]

Alterations

In 1913, Monarch was slated as part of the twelve ship order to receive a director along the lines of that developed in Neptune. She was fully equipped sometime in 1914 prior to the start of the war.[11]

In October 1914, the ship was to be given 4 Pattern 1582 Electric Radiators to warm cabins whose stoves could not be used for heating them.[12]

By the end of 1915, and probably during 1915, she received one of the first three sets of Walker's Instruments, presumably for trial.[13]

In 1916 or soon thereafter, she would have received Evershed Bearing Indicators for her main battery, as approved in 1916.[14]

Service

Monarch served in the Second Battle Squadron from at least December 1912, remaining there throughout the war. Monarch relieved the squadron's second flagship, Orion, of that role for just a single month in November, 1916. In May 1919, she stayed with her squadron when it was redesignated the Third Battle Squadron.[15]

She completed to full crew at Portsmouth on 27 April, 1912. She was to recommission at Portsmouth on 7 April, 1914.[16]

Great War

Monarch left Portsmouth at 23:30 on 30 October,[17] and rejoined the Second Battle Squadron at Scapa at 11:00 on 3 November.[18]
