		The armoured cruiser HMS "Good Hope" was detached from the Grand Fleet, when war was imminent, to Halifax, Nova Scotia in the belief that German liners in New York were really armed merchant cruisers prepared to harass merchant shipping.
		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.
		No-one saw "Good Hope" go down at around 2000 hrs, the "Leipzig" steamed NW toward a dull glow, thought to be the "Good Hope" burning, when she reached the position only a few pieces of floating debris remained of Kit Cradock's flagship and her valiant crew.

	Ships of the World: An Historical Encyclopedia - - HMS Good Hope (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		At the outbreak of World War I, Good Hope was mobilized under Captain Philip Franklin to become the flagship of Rear Admiral Christopher Cradock's detached squadron tasked with preventing the destruction of Allied shipping in the South Atlantic by German raiders.
		Among the other defects of both Good Hope and Monmouth was that their main-deck 6-inch guns were useless in heavy seas, which meant that the brunt of the offensive action had to be carried by Good Hope's two 9.2-inch guns.
		Silhouetted against the setting sun and unable to close with the German ships, Good Hope was hit by at least thiry-five armor-piercing shells from Scharnhorst, and about an hour after the battle started, she sank with all hands (919 crew) in about 36°59S, 73°55W.

		While the signal did not directly insult the Commander in Chief, it indicated a lack of tact on Scott's part and, in his position, it was overtly insubordinate.
		However, the signal was not brought to Beresford's attention until a young Lieutenant heard of it in the wardroom of HMS Good Hope and informed the CiC's Flag Lieutenant and Signal Officer.
