Alterations
Although in November, 1914 Agincourt 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 June-July, 1916 while at Portsmouth Royal Dockyard.[Citation needed]
Agincourt did not receive directors for her secondary battery until July, 1918.[4]
