Pendant Number: 79 (Aug 1914)

Boats

In July 1914, the ship was appropriated 42-foot motor launch No. 192, though the boat was not yet delivered from the contractor.[7]

Habitability

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.[8]

Alterations

In 1913, Marlborough 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.[9] Her class received their directors after King George V received hers, and likely to a similar design, placing the light aloft tower atop the spotting top.[10]

Her secondary battery directors were installed sometime in 1917.[11]

Service

Captain Edmund P. F. G. Grant was in command at the start of war.[12]

Jutland

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

Marlborough was under the command of George P. Ross. She fired by director controlled from fore top[13] until torpedoed and eventually forced to abandon the line to dash home, she was back with the fleet by 31 July.[14]

Post-War

Marlborough paid off to C. & M. Party at Devonport on 1 November, 1920 for a major refit, for which £211,097 was voted in the 1921 Naval Estimates. During her refit she was manned by a care-and-maintenance party under Commander Harry B. Jermain.[15]

The ship was re-commissioned on 1 October, 1924.[16]

In 1924, in competitive firing trials as part of the Mediterranean Fleet, her forward torpedo flat fired at intervals of 58, 67, 77 and 203 seconds, and the aft flat at 57, 57, 99 and 271 seconds.[17]

A propeller was damaged by a torpedo on 29 June 1927. Their Lordships informed Captain Frederick Charles Fisher that a Court of Enquiry concluded that a dive to inspect the matter should have been conducted sooner than 14 July.[18]

On 26 July 1927, she re-commissioned at Devonport and resumed service with the Third Battle Squadron in the Atlantic.[19]

She re-commissioned at Devonport with Special Complement on 6 May, 1931.[20]

In June of 1933, her bell was one of about 100 surplus bells announced as being for sale at prices ranging from £1 to £10. Preference would be given to those offers from men with a special consideration in the bell in question.[21]
