Barry served fourteen months in the battleship before being sent to Rother for four months, and then to Natal for another four. He finally went to join the battleship Superb in mid-January 1911 and remained in her a year.

On 30 April, 1912, Barry was promoted to Sub-Lieutenant.[1]

By February 1916 this settled down to service in E 12, where he remained until mid October.

In December 1916, an appointment in command of C 20 was cancelled, and he instead commanded C 21. In mid-June 1917 he left her to command D 4.

D 4 suffered a fire in 1918, and Barry was told by Their Lordships that it was "inconceivable that no proper watch was kept on board."[4]
