		Rear-Admiral Christopher Cradock, who had made the "Good Hope" his flagship in mid-August, was a brave officer, he was well aware of the deficiencies of his ships and urged the Admiralty to send modern reinforcements.
		Cradock decided he could not catch the Germans with this handicap and left her in the Falklands while he set off to bring von Spee to battle, off the coast of Chile.
		Cradock's old armoured cruisers, "Good Hope" and "Monmouth", were manned almost totally by reservists, "Good Hope's" crew were 90% reservists only just called up, having had no real gunnery practice, in contrast with the "Scharnhorst" and "Gneisenau", winners of the German Navy's top gunnery award for the past two years.

	First World War.com - Battles - The Battle of Coronel, 1914
		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 Scharnhorst and Gneisenau plus a further three light cruisers, all modern, efficient ships.
		Cradock, who was aware that his shipping was outgunned by Spee's, had meanwhile been waiting in the hope of naval reinforcements.
		For Cradock had received word, again via intercepted radio signal on 31 October that Leipzig - the slowest light cruiser in Spee's fleet - was in the area.

		While Cradock was in Punta Arenas, it became clear to the Admiralty that the German overseas fleet was congregating off the western coast of South America.
		Within a week, Cradock was aware of Dresden's position, but he foolishly clung to the belief that he would catch Dresden alone, before she could meet up with her comrades.
		Cradock had not been able to find a single light cruiser for three months, and now that cruiser had taken part in the coup de grace of his career.

	The Gray Monk: Lost at Coronel 1914
		This is what happened to Good Hope and her consort Monmouth when Cradock attempted to engage the more powerful ships of Graf von Spee's East Asiatic Squadron off the Coronel Coast of South America on 1st November 1914 in a rising gale and heavy seas.
		They joined up with the pre-Dreadnought battleship Canopus - Cradock had been ordered to wait for her to join him before he engaged the German squadron (and her twelve inch guns would have made at least some difference), but decided to act rather than be accused of failing to engage the enemy.
		Even the Admiralty had difficulty understanding Cradock's decision, particularly as it was known that the Scharnhorst and Gneisenau were superior ships and they had with them three light cruisers, Dresden, Nürnberg and Leipzig and an Auxilliary Cruiser, the liner Prinz Eitel Friedrich.

	DTI News October 2000
		Admiral Cradock was one of a number of commanders tasked to locate and destroy the crack German East Asiatic Squadron which had been making its way from its pre-war base in China across the Pacific Ocean towards South America.
		At one point, they made the mistake of thinking von Spee was sailing west instead of east so Cradock's squadron was not reinforced as it should have been.
		And their instructions were often badly worded and confusing, so, for example, that the Admiral thought he was supposed to engage the enemy even if his force was inadequate to gain victory.
