Alterations

As part of the Channel Fleet, she underwent a refit from 11 February 1908 to 21 March.[10]

An order for a design for a director system for Duke of Edinburgh was likely issued in early 1915, but priorities for director fittings were such that it was only installed in October 1918.[11]

Duke of Edinburgh was paid off at Portsmouth on 3 August, 1918.[12]
