=== Fire control === The main guns of the ''Courageous''-class ships could be controlled from either of the two [[Fire-control system#Naval fire control|fire-control directors]]. The primary director was mounted above the [[conning tower]] in an armoured hood and the other was in the [[Top (sailing ship)|fore-top]] on the foremast.<ref>Roberts, p. 93.</ref> The secondary armament was also director-controlled.<ref>McBride, p. 106.</ref> Each turret was provided with a {{convert|15|ft|m|1|adj=on}} rangefinder in an armoured housing on the turret roof. The fore-top was equipped with a {{convert|9|ft|m|adj=on|1}} rangefinder as was the torpedo control tower above the rear superstructure. The anti-aircraft guns were controlled by a simple {{convert|2|m|ftin|adj=on}} rangefinder mounted on the aft superstructure.<ref>Burt, p. 307.</ref>
