Alterations
In 1913, Tiger was slated as part of the twelve ship order to receive a director system for her main battery. It was fitted sometime after the war started but prior to May, 1915.[2]
In October, 1914, it was decided that Tiger should receive a Open Director Sight for each of her turrets. They fitted between April 1916 and June 1917.[3]
In August, 1918, in recognition of shortcomings in the use of directing guns, it was ordered that Tiger should be fitted with a second tripod-type[Inference] director aft, as Lion and Princess Royal had been configured.[4]
