Note 39 — Chapter XI · WAR: THE PASSAGE OF THE ARMY August 4–August 22 1914

At the Falklands the two British battle cruisers used up nearly three-quarters of their ammunition to sink only two weaker antagonists, using 12–inch guns against 8·8–inch. The Goeben single-handed would have had to have sunk four, using 11–inch guns against 9·2–inch.
