Giving Cradock the ships needed to face von Spee

Should Britain send Beatty instead of Cradock against von Spee?

The preferred solution is to retain Cradock and give him battlecruisers.

Cradock is judged the better commander for the proposed force. His historical problem was a shortage of ships suited to the operation. The counterfactual remedy is to supply battlecruisers rather than replace him with Beatty. His reluctance to back down is also connected to the expectations placed on Royal Navy officers.
