H.M.S. Agamemnon was one of two pre-Dreadnought battleships in her class, and though designed before the transformative Dreadnought, she was completed after her, in 1908.

Service

Upon commissioning in June, 1908, she joined The Nore Division of Home Fleet, remaining with them until 7 August, 1914 when she joined the Channel Fleet's Fifth Battle Squadron, opearing out of Portland and Sheerness.[8]

She recommissioned at Chatham on 19 February, 1913.[9]

She paid off 20 March, 1919.[10]

Radio

At the end of 1909, she was to receive one of eleven Short Distance Radio Sets, to be installed at her next refit behind armour near the fore bridge, intended to supplant flag signaling.[11] In mid-1913, this gear was redesignated as Type 3.[12]
