Both Wolf and Clive received their 18 gun, Prince Eugene was on her way to Portsmouth to be fitted when the Armistice was signed, and the refit was cancelled. It had been decided to power the ships with Diesel engines intended for two oilers building at Pembroke, and while both ships were under powered, Marshal Ney was little short of a disaster. The M29-class monitors were five ships ordered in March 1915, as part of the War Emergency Programme of ship construction.

All were laid down by January 1915 and completed by November of that year. The M15-class monitors were fourteen ships ordered in March 1915, as part of the War Emergency Programme of ship construction, mounting 9.2 inch Mk VI gun turrets removed from the Edgar-class and the Mk X turrets held in stock for the Drake-class and Cressy-class cruisers.

The next source of mountings came from the decision to build Repulse and Renown as Battlecruisers with 6 x 15 guns, rather than Battleships with 8 x 15 guns. Their guns also came from a variety of sources – some were spare at the beginning of the war, others were removed from older battleships or modified cruisers while the 14in guns carried by the Abercrombie class monitors had been donated by Charles M. Schwab, the President of Bethlehem Steel, an American company. In February 1915 they were named Farragut then Admiral Farragut, General Grant, Robert E Lee and Stonewall Jackson as a compliment to the Americans who had supplied the guns.

This is a list of monitors of the Royal Navy of the United Kingdom. The Marshal Ney-class monitors were built to use the two modern 15-inch turrets made available by the redesign of Renown and Repulse as battlecruisers. The Abercrombie-class monitors came about when Bethlehem Steel in the United States, the contracted supplier of the main armament for the Greek battleship Salamis being built in Germany, instead offered to sell the four 14"/45 caliber gun twin gun turrets to the Royal Navy on 3 November 1914, the ships were laid down and launched within six months, seeing service throughout the war.
