I wondered if they had changed over time but they're currently under investigation for selling their patients confidential data to places like facebook, in breach of all kinds of legal and moral client confidentiality rules. Please consider looking into this. If what you find is not enough to put you off from accepting sponsorships, or if this channel simply needs this particular sponsorship to stay afloat, then by all means do what you must, but i rather hope you'll be able to find a less sketchy sponsor.

Another is the idea of scuttling one of his ships in the channel to block Sturdee from pursuit.

The Germans realised they were in deep poo when they spotted tripod masts, only capital ships had those, Canopus did open fire and hit one of the German ships, however there is a story attached to that hit, Canopus was due a practice shoot in the morning and the forward turret always won the competition, so in the night the rear turret crew loaded up with practice shot, In the morning they found themselves in a real shooting match they could not unload the rear turret 12 inch guns, so had to fire them and they hit the German ship with basically a practice concrete shell !

I wonder if the two initial German Cruisers who reached the Falklands had just cherged in upon furst being fired at in the morning while the Brits were still at anchor if they could have wrecked enough havoc to bottle up the Brits and make them sitting ducks for the entire squadron to bombard.... would that have been able to effect a different outcome? Or was the British firepower just too much to overcome? I would think that the British being at anchor, with little or no steam built up to maneuver that the Germans could habe just raked them with fire and sunk them in the harbor. Does anyone with more Naval knowledge have an opinion? Was it possible to change the putcome with more agression? Perhapse if the Germans had all arrived together? Or arrived earlier, like at of before dawn? Also, why would they sink the German colliers? Why not keep them and use them? Thanks to anyone who can help offer some insights to my questions.
@mkaustralia713610 ай бұрын
Drachinifel in one of his YTs has done a job on the “what ifs” regarding this battle, including scuttling a ship in the channel to prevent the battlecruisers leaving port. Even stationary, but with spotting available from Canopus, the two battlecruisers and Canopus would have been putting a lot of shells in the direction of a single armoured cruiser and a protected one. I am not sure the position of Canopus is correctly shown on the video. She is described by the Greenwich Museum as anchored in Stanley Harbour covering the approaches and hidden from the seaward side by a hill upon which she had set spotters. Her top masts were taken down to hide them from view. Her guns were fired using these spotters. So the Germans would have had to use indirect fire on their approach without knowing quite where the British ships were and receiving fire from three sets of large calibre guns targeted by spotting.
@CountScarlioni10 ай бұрын
Any assault would have been suicide with Canopus on spotting duty. Canopus had known for days that von Spee was likely on the way as they'd heard radio intel so were expecting trouble and prepared herself as a fortress battery. As happened in the battle, they were always going to see the Germans, before the Germans could see them. The only reason Canopus (only just) missed her shots was because she was indirect firing over a hill with guys stood on an outcrop yelling coordinates down a telephone. Had the German cruisers actually approached the harbour mouth they'd have come into direct line of sight and been ripped to pieces. Canopus may have been old and beached in the mud but her 12 inch guns were long range and vicious. Her Krupp armour was near indestructible to cruiser gun calibres and she had torpedo nets deployed. There really wasn't anything the Germans could do against that. The German squadron did the only sensible thing in immediately turning away and trying to disperse. They were commerce raiders, and tangling with battleships was very much _not_ part of their strategy - even obsolete ones from the 1890s! It's just von Spee's extreme misfortune that Sturdee's battlecruisers were in the same harbour or they would have assuredly escaped to fight another day. But even then, the net was closing and it was going to end in fire sooner or later. Von Spee himself knew that the RN would never let Coronel go unanswered. There was always something strangely fatalist about his attack on the Falklands, almost as if he was resigned to it being his last battle.

I have always loved the way the Captains and sometimes the First Officers are named and how the lowly enlisted who actually fought and won or lost the battle remain nameless even to this day. This is why our officers are so narcissistic and entitled. I only ever met two officers who I would voluntarily follow, one of them was a Mustang and the other was just a guy who would rather serve his required time as an Enlisted man rather than an Officer. They were both Honor student Graduates from the University of Berkeley, CA. As an Officer you had to do 4 years of active service and two years of Reserve service. As an enlisted man you had to do two years of active service. My friend Sean chose to be an enlisted man and do his duty quickly so he could return to civilian life and make some real money. His brother later cursed him because Sean got into the RAND Corp before he did even though Sean was younger. Sean's older brother was never able to overcome his younger brothers lead in the RAND Corp.

@@TonySpike And you are taking away the credit which rightly belongs to the men who actually do the job. Instead you want to assign the credit to some goofball wearing bars who's battle plan fell apart, but the men got the job done anyway. I wonder how many years you served in the military? Perhaps you are over thinking it.
