Alterations
In 1913, King George V was slated as part of the twelve ship order to receive a director along the lines of that developed in Neptune. She was fully equipped sometime in 1914 prior to the start of the war.[2]
In October, 1914, it was decided that King George V should receive an Open Director Sight for each of her turrets. They were fitted between April 1916 and June 1917.[3]
