H.M.S. Conquest (1915)
Pendant Number: C0 (1914)
48 (Jan 1918)
37 (Apr 1918)[1]
Builder: Chatham Royal Dockyard[2]
Laid down: 3 Mar, 1914[3]
Launched: 20 Jan, 1915[4]
Commissioned: Jun, 1915[5]
Sold: 29 Aug, 1930[6]

H.M.S. Conquest was one of six Caroline class light cruisers completed for the Royal Navy early in the Great War.

Service

On 28 March, 1916, a boat accident killed 39 of her crew.[8]

Conquest paid off on 13 July, 1918.[9]

Alterations

Conquest was fitted with a director in March, 1918. This alteration required her pole mast to be replaced with a tripod mast for greater rigidity.[10]

At some point likely after the end of the war, she received a Dreyer Turret Control Table in her TS.[11]

Captains

Dates of appointment are provided when known.
