Correct: Vice Admiral Sturdee was in command of the battlecruisers Invincible and Inflexible that were dispatched with haste to the Falklands on 11 November 1914 to deal with von Spee and his East Asiatic Cruiser Squadron centered around the excellent armored cruisers SMS Scharnhorst and SMS Gneisenau. None of the German vessels, except for the light cruiser SMS Dresden, survived the battle on 8 December 1914 and von Spee and his two sons also perished. The Dresden was hunted down and caught in Chilean waters on March 13th 1915.
