Career

Jutland

Princess Royal's repairs were delayed until 15 July by non-delivery of an armour plate.[8]

Post-Jutland

Princess Royal paid off on 31 May, 1919.[9]

Alterations

In 1913, Princess Royal was slated as part of the seventeen ship order to receive a director, but installation seemed delayed for a considerable time. It was fitted sometime after December, 1915, but was in place for the Battle of Jutland.[10]

In October, 1914, it was decided that Princess Royal should receive 2 Open Director Sights to be fitted in her "B" and "X" turrets. They were fitted between April 1916 and June 1917.[11]

In May, 1917, in recognition of shortcomings in the use of directing guns, it was ordered that Lion and Princess Royal should be fitted with a second tripod-type director aft, as described on the class page. Princess Royal's system was available by September, 1918, but it is not known if or when they were fitted.[12]

Captains

Dates of appointment are provided when known.
