I agree with all your suggestions, but for Coronel you'd have to explain why Craddock said "I trust I won't suffer the fate of poor Troubridge."[/quote]

What ever happened to Captain Wray? Did he get court martialed?

It is interesting that Craddock and Troubridge were in simular situtations but each acted differently based on what they thought was right.

I for one would Love to see someone put the time and money
into either Coronel and The Falklands

Rich material for a well written screen play. Comrades before the war , forced into adverserial roles they don't expect and both commanders doomed, in their different ways, to a watery grave. A poignant story indeed .

The only connection I could find online showed a partial listing indicating he served under Craddock, but when I clicked on the link it was dead, so I don't know.
