Alterations

In 1913, Hercules was slated as part of the seventeen ship order to receive a director. It was fitted sometime between May and December, 1915.[6]

In June 1914, the ship was directed to return its Waymouth-Cooke Rangefinder to the manufacturer to replace the long telescope with a shorter one.[7]

By the end of 1915, and probably during 1915, she received one of the first three sets of Walker's Instruments, presumably for trial.[8]
