Service
On 18 June 1910, she collided with S.S. Chesapeake. It was determined that Captain Doughty was to blame, and he was admonished in the incident.[8]
Alterations
In mid-1913 it was approved that King Alfred receive a Mark III Dumaresq, Pattern 760. Having been supplied with the Mark III variant, she was to surrender a Mark I instrument previously allotted.[9]
In October 1914, the ship was to be given 22 Pattern 1582 Electric Radiators to warm cabins whose stoves could not be used for heating them.[10]
