  12. ↑ The fourth HMS Cornwall (1902-1920) was a 9000 ton armoured cruiser launched at Pembroke in 1902. On the outbreak of war in 1914 she was despatched to West Africa to intercept German merchant shipping. She proceeded to the Falklands and on 8 December 1914 engaged German light cruisers, sinking the LEIPZIG. Returning to West Africa until June 1915 she was sent to support the Gallipoli campaign. The following October she went back to the East Indies and China Stations to protect Allied shipping from surface raiders. Returning to the UK in 1917 she was refitted and escorted convoys between Canada and the UK. She paid off early in 1919.

    BATTLE OF THE FALKANDS

    The Battle of the Falklands was a number of separate, but concurrent naval engagements on the 8th of December 1914, during the Great War, between the British and Germans and occured when a German squadron under von Spee was sighted, attacked and destroyed, by a British force under Vice-Admiral Sir Doveton Sturdee based at Port Stanley.
    The British force comprised the battle cruisers Invincible and Inflexible and the cruisers Bristol, Carnavon, Glasgow, Cornwall and Kent, the armed merchant cruiser Macedonia (who sighted the enemy squadron approaching whilst on guard outside Port Stanley Harbour) and the slow pre-dreadnought HMS Canopus, who ambushed the approaching ships from her hidden position.
    The German force was comprised of the Scharnhorst, Gneisenau, Dresden, Leipzig, and the Nurnberg.
    HMS Invincible and HMS Inflexible engaged and sank the Scharnhorst and Gneisenau. The fastest German ship, Dresden escaped; HMS Cornwall and HMS Glasgow engaged and sank the Leipzig, while HMS Kent pursued and sank the Nurnberg.

    ----
    HMS Vivid commissioned as an RNR unit in 1959, the 9th naval unit to bear the name. It was the first Headquarters unit to be established and its success led to the formation of others, both within the UK and abroad. Prior to that the name has been associated with naval training in the Plymouth area for most of the past 130 years.
