Service

Completed to full crew at Portsmouth, 25 February, 1913.[6] Initially attached to the First Battle Squadron Captain Arthur A. M. Duff took command the next month. She was ordered to transfer to the First Light Cruiser Squadron on 1 July.[7]

Alterations

In October 1914, the ship was to be given 5 Pattern 1582 Electric Radiators to warm cabins whose stoves could not be used for heating them.[8]

Southampton was fitted with a director in March, 1918. This alteration may have required her pole mast to be replaced with a tripod mast for greater rigidity.[9]
