Alterations

Inconstant was fitted with a director in March, 1918. This alteration required her pole mast to be replaced with a tripod mast for greater rigidity.[2]

In 1915 or 1916, she trialed a Wise Pressure Telegraphy System Type A for torpedo control. As a result of this trial, in 1917 she was to have her system upgraded to the Type C standard.
