Alterations
Directors were ordered only for Commonwealth and her sister Zealandia on 23 July, 1917 for use in bombardment. Commonwealth was fitted with her director in May 1918, but Zealandia's installation was suspended by the cessation of work on ships at war's end.[2] It appears that Commonwealth was the only pre-dreadnought to ever be fitted with a director system for regular service.
