Battle of Coronel
In late 1942, "Togo" was converted into an auxiliary cruiser. As part of this conversion she was renamed ("Handels-Stör-Kreuzer", HSK) "Coronel", she was known to the Kriegsmarine as "HSK 10", and designated "Schiff 14". To the Royal Navy, she was "Raider K". She was named after the Battle of Coronel, Admiral Maximilian von Spee's victory over a British cruiser flotilla off the coast of Chile in November 1914.
