		Six weeks after Coronel, Gneisenau was in the van of the German squadron scouting near the Falkland Islands when the British battle-cruisers Inflexible and Invincible were spotted the morning of December 8.

		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.
