Fire Control
Rangefinders
Evershed Bearing Indicators
These ships almost certainly had Evershed gear for gun control from delivery, as they followed the Centaur class.[1]
Orders for Evershed installations for searchlight control from February 1917 applied to the Danae class, but may not have applied to Ceres.[2]
Gunnery Control
Control Positions
Control Groups
Directors
All ships were completed with gunnery directors in place.[3] The director was in a tower on a pedestal mounting..[4] It is not known if 'X' or any other gun acted as a directing gun as in the earlier Caledon class.[5]

Transmitting Stations
Dreyer Table
These ships had no fire control tables.[6]
