In the mid-1840s Rear Admiral Samuel Inglefield took decisive action to keep the Paraná River open so ensuring continuity of trade during the Uruguayan Civil War.[4] The station suffered significant ship reductions between 1869 and 1874.[5] From 1870 it was commanded by a captain, designated the "senior officer",[6] and comprised just three gunboats[7] although it had responsibility for the Western Atlantic from Brazil South.[8] The squadron's only permanent base was a coal station at Stanley on the Falkland Islands.[9] It was disbanded altogether in 1905.[10] In September 1914 Rear-Admiral Sir Christopher Cradock was ordered south to re-establish the station in the face of the German threat at the start of the First World War.[11] His squadron was destroyed at the Battle of Coronel on 1 November 1914.[12] CommandersCommanders included:
