  2.  @hamsterdarth  It was precisely because Spee had no access to repair facilities that caused Cradock to engage. The same principle applied, much more successfully, when Harwood engaged the Graf Spee in 1939. ' God forbid that I should do this thing; to flee away from them. If our time be come, let us die manfully for our brethren, and let us not stain our honour'. (Cradock's memorial in York Minster).
