[Cryptography] Battle of Falkland Islands

[Dave Horsfall]

The Battle of the Falkland Islands (not Thatcher's) happened on this day 
in 1914, with the German East Asia Squadron sunk; the Scharnhorst with all 
hands, along with the Gneisenau, the Nürnberg, and the Leipzig (RN 
casualties were light, with no ships lost).  It turned out that Admiral 
Spee's squadron was apparently lured by a fake signal sent in a German 
naval code broken by British cryptographers.
