Career

Shannon commissioned at Chatham on 10 March, 1908, under Captain James A. Fergusson, with the crew from the Leviathan and ratings from Chatham. Rear-Admiral George A. Callaghan, commanding the Fifth Cruiser Squadron, transferred his flag from Leviathan to Shannon on the same day.[8]

Alterations

An order for a design for a director system for Shannon was issued on 22 February 1915 and orders for its supply made 12 April, 1916. Priorities for director fittings were such, however that it was only installed in October 1918.[9]
