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.[2] 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.[3]
Her secondary battery directors were installed sometime in 1917.[4]
Jutland
She was under the command of George P. Ross. Torpedoed and eventually forced to abandon the line to dash home, she was back with the fleet by 31 July.[5]
Fate
Marlborough paid off 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.[Citation needed]
