Radio

In 1908, the ship was one of just nine equipped with the "C" Tune Gear, capable of transmitting (only?) on "S", "U" and "W" tunes. It was to receive a Service Mark II set in 1909.[12]

In mid-1913, it was decided to purchase a Type 9 Cruiser Auxiliary set for her.[13]

Alterations

As part of the Channel Fleet, she underwent a refit from 11 February 1908 to 21 March.[14]

An order for a design for a director system for Duke of Edinburgh was likely issued in early 1915, but priorities for director fittings were such that it was only installed in October 1918.[15]
