Service

Undaunted commissioned on 29 August, 1914.[9]

On 24 November, 1914, she is noted as leader of the Third Destroyer Flotilla, operating out of Harwich.[10]

Reduced to Reserve at the Nore on 1 April, 1919.[11]

Alterations

In 1915-1916, she was given a Wise Pressure Telegraphy System Type B to trial for torpedo control. Based on this trial, in 1917, she likely received Chadburn's Torpedo Telegraphs and had her Wise gauges redone to indicate Torpedo Deflection only, as well as having Barr and Stroud instruments provided to acknowledge torpedo orders given via Wise and Chadburn.[12]

Undaunted was fitted with a director in October, 1917. This alteration required her pole mast to be replaced with a tripod mast for greater rigidity.[13]
