Boats

In July 1914, the ship was appropriated 42-foot motor launch No. 192, though the boat was not yet delivered from the contractor.[7]

Habitability

In October 1914, the ship was to be given 4 Pattern 1582 Electric Radiators to warm cabins whose stoves could not be used for heating them.[8]

Alterations

In 1913, Marlborough was slated as part of the twelve ship order to receive a director along the lines of that developed in Neptune. She was fully equipped sometime in 1914 prior to the start of the war.[9] Her class received their directors after King George V received hers, and likely to a similar design, placing the light aloft tower atop the spotting top.[10]

Her secondary battery directors were installed sometime in 1917.[11]

Service

Jutland

Main article: H.M.S. Marlborough at the Battle of Jutland

She was under the command of George P. Ross. Fired by director and controlled from fore top[12] until torpedoed and eventually forced to abandon the line to dash home, she was back with the fleet by 31 July.[13]

Post-War

Marlborough paid off to C. & M. Party at Devonport on 1 November, 1920 for a major refit, for which £211,097 was voted in the 1921 Naval Estimates. During her refit she was manned by a care-and-maintenance party under Commander Harry Bingham Jermain, O.B.E.[14]
