Career
Aurora commissioned at Devonport on 5 September, 1914.[2]
Alterations
In 1915-1916, she was given a Wise Pressure Telegraphy System Type B to trial for torpedo control. Based on this trial, in 1917, she likely received Chadburn Torpedo Order Telegraphs and had her Wise gauges redone to indicate Torpedo Deflection only, as well as having Barr and Stroud instruments provided to acknowledge torpedo orders given via Wise and Chadburn.[3]
Aurora was fitted with a director in December, 1917. This alteration required her pole mast to be replaced with a tripod mast for greater rigidity.[4]
