Launch
Reshadieh was launched on Wednesday, 3 September, 1913, by Naile Hanoum, the daughter of the Turkish Ambassador to Britain, Tewfik Pasha. Rose water instead of the usual bottle of wine was used to christen the ship, which took the water in 45 seconds. Hanoum was afterwards presented with a platinum necklace set with diamonds. Hakki Pasha, Grand Vizier when the order for Reshadieh was placed with Vickers, was also present and gave a speech at the post-launch luncheon.

Although in November, 1914 Erin was specified as a ship to receive a director and this task received special emphasis in mid 1915,[2] she fought at the Battle of Jutland without a director[3] and was not fitted until some time in July-August, 1916 at Invergordon.[Citation needed]
Erin received directors for her secondary battery in December, 1917.[4]
