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.[2] 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.[3]

Her secondary battery directors were installed sometime in 1917.[4]

Jutland

Reports

She was under the command of George P. Ross. Torpedoed and eventually forced to abandon the line to dash home, she was back with the fleet by 31 July.[5]

Fate

Marlborough paid off 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 Bingham Jermain, O.B.E.[Citation needed]
