  2. Moral eval??? He had direct orders to seek and engage. He did so.... End of story. 🤨 Your job is the mission. Not debate. Not to refuse Battle. Not to fail or dishonor the Navy.

  3.  @hamsterdarth  Perhaps I'm of the old school? But no Victorian/Edwardian era Flag officer runs from a enemy without firing a shot. Craddock stands down.Von Spee rounds the Horn and escapes into the Atlantic. Putting Merchant ships at risk. And those deaths are on his hands.

  4.  @orbitalair2103  There is no good choice. The force is too weak to win. Too slow to run. And to run would be cowardice. You engage..... Do max damage on the enemy. Delay them till Sturdee can arrive. And roll the dice.

  5. That is the job. A entire career was built for one thing. To lead ships in battle. Craddock did his job.

  6. You do understand at the end of the day, this what sailors get paid for? The uniform, the check, the oath come with the fine print..... One day, you may be asked to risk life and limb.

  8.  @santiago5388  The potential threat they posed would force Von Spee to avoid action. The goal is to return to Germany.
