	Battle of Coronel
		Patrolling South America at that time was Admiral Cradock's West Indies Squadron, which consisted of two armoured cruisers, HMS Good Hope (Cradock's flagship) and HMS Monmouth, the light cruiser HMS Glasgow, and a converted ex-liner, Otranto.
		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.
		At this stage it is probable that the British force could have escaped by sailing towards Canopus, then some 300 miles to the south; with the failing light Spee would most likely have lost contact with the British squadron.

		Glasgow and Otranto were very lucky to escape the massacre, only the worsening weather and the onset of the night saved them.
