	U.S. Cruisers
		The cruiser is, per definition, the smallest ocean-going warship capable of independent operations, meaning operations in which the cruiser is the largest capital ship.
		Along with the design of new battleships, or ships-of-the-line, thus came the construction of two types of cruisers: armoured cruisers, which were intended to serve in "real" fleet actions, meaning battles, and light cruisers, that, with their lighter armament and armor could carry more coal and thus go further.
		Those who have stated that the US cruisers were at a disadvantage without them, and that their removement was a great failure, seem not to understand the situation that the US was to find in battle.

		Cradock's fleet was by no means modern or particularly strong, and certainly ill-matched when set against Spee's formidable force of five vessels, led by the armoured cruisers SMS Scharnhorst and SMS Gneisenau plus a further three light cruisers, all modern, efficient ships.
		Cradock had received word, again via intercepted radio signal on 31 October that SMS Leipzig, the slowest light cruiser in Spee's fleet, was in the area.

	The Imperial Russian Navy
		On the one hand were the ships intended to form part of the battlefleet - the battleships, armoured cruisers, protected cruisers, light cruisers and destroyers.
		The waters were further muddied by the (again British) invention of the battlecruiser, basically a development of the armoured cruiser to dreadnought standards, where a fast but lightly-armoured warship was equipped with guns roughly equating to battleship calibre.
		At a stroke this design threatened to invalidate all armoured cruisers in existence by being able to catch and destroy them, and by virtue of their speed by allowing the battlecruisers to flee any superior dreadnought force which might attempt to intervene.
