Service

Following successful tests in Yarmouth in June, 1917, Cassandra was one of three other light cruisers to receive a flying-off platform on her forecastle for a Sopwith Pup some few weeks later.[8]

Cassandra was fitted with a director in August, 1917. This alteration required her pole mast to be replaced with a tripod mast for greater rigidity.[9]
