	Matthew G. Kirschenbaum: Big Guns and Toys for Boys
		The Battle of Coronel (1 November 1914, off the coast of Chile) was undoubtedly the low point of the First World War for the British navy.
		The battle was a mis-match from the start: Craddock’s older cruisers were outgunned and manned largely by reservists, while von Spee’s ships Scharnhorst and Gneisenau boasted the best gunnery in the German navy.
		These were very historical results: in the actual battle (remember, Canopus wasn’t present) Good Hope had had her big forward guns destroyed in the opening salvo, thereby hampering Craddock’s ability to conduct a long range fight even further.

		We sometimes forget that famous battles are not necessarily about large number of people or ships or aircraft engaged in giant life-or-death struggles to make history.
		Coronel, as Don Barrett explains, was the first defeat suffered by the Royal Navy in a hundred years, since the time of Napoleon.
		Much of the reason was that the Good Hope and Monmouth [County class cruisers] were manned mostly by reservists, while the German armored cruisers and their crews were the “pride of the German fleet.” Whereas the Royal Navy lost 1600 killed, the German Navy suffered three wounded.
