Gunnery Officer during War, William Lindsay Jackson

Construction

Prince Eugene received a very high priority for receiving directors, and the order for her equipment was completed in 1915.[1]

18-inch Monitor

Along with General Wolfe and Lord Clive, Prince Eugene received an 18-inch gun in 1918. Orders for her updated bombardment director equipment were completed by October, 1918, but unlike her sisters, this equipment was never fitted.[2]
