Alterations
Iron Duke was one of the first ships fitted with a director, receiving hers in 1914 after she was listed in 1913's twelve ship order.[2]
Scrapping
Iron Duke was refloated by Metal Industries on 19 April, 1946 and on 19 August arrived at their newly-leased premises at No. 1 Military Port (Faslane). Her hulk was beached for final demolition at the Smith & Houston yard at Port Glasgow in November, 1948 as the beaching ground at Faslane had not yet been completed.
