Career

Good Hope was part of the Sixth Cruiser Squadron, nominally in the Second Fleet but part of the Third Fleet for administrative purposes.[1] She was based at Portsmouth where she served as a parent ship for other Third Fleet ships.[2] Before the outbreak of war she was ordered by the Commander-in-Chief, Portsmouth, to proceed from Portsmouth to Scapa viâ the West Coast of Ireland.[3] On 5 August she was ordered to steam to Halifax, Canada, to join the flag of Rear-Admiral Sir Christopher G. F. M. Cradock, commanding the Fourth Cruiser Squadron.[4] Good Hope arrived at Halifax on 14 August, and on 15 August met Suffolk at sea. Captain Bentinck J. D. Yelverton transferred to Suffolk, and Cradock, his staff, and his Flag Captain, Captain Philip Francklin, transferred to Good Hope, which then sailed for Bermuda.[5]

Radio

In 1908, the ship was one of just nine equipped with the "C" Tune Gear, capable of transmitting (only?) on "S", "U" and "W" tunes. It was to receive a Service Mark II set in 1909.[6]
