Main Armament
Monarch was built with 13.5-inch Mk II mountings for her guns.[2]
Alterations
In 1913, Monarch 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.[3]
By the end of 1915, and probably during 1915, she received one of the first three sets of Walker's Instruments, presumably for trial.[4]
In 1916 or soon thereafter, she would have received Evershed Bearing Indicators for her main battery, as approved in 1916.[5]
