I would not call them 'obscure'.
Classic battles, with each a human interest backstory. Craddock had been warned not to engage von Spee's squadron with his obsolete ships. But he followed his orders in a direct way, knowing he would not make a chance. The reason he did, was the way the captains and admirals involved in the failed chase of the Goeben and the Breslau in August 1914, had been put aside for lack of fighting spirit. Craddock did not want that to happen to himself.
Next, Sturdee was sent to the Atlantic to fight von Spee. Not only had Sturdee plenty of fighting spirit, but Lord Fisher, who had been called back from retirement, hated him and wanted him as far away as possible. At the Falklands, he succesfully used his battlecruisers for the task they had been designed for. Later, Sturdee was given a command of a battleship squadron, that was positioned in the middle of the battleline (as it was in Jutland), in order to 'restrain' his fighting spirit and prevent him to take initiative!
