SMS Emden served in both Chinese and Pacific waters and was at the German colony of Tsingtao when war broke out. She was ordered to start raiding and disrupting commercial vessels in the Indian Ocean until she was cornered by HMAS Sydney. She was beached after the battle on 9th November 1914 and the wreck was partly scrapped by the Japanese in 1950. Some of her crew managed to reach Germany again after capturing a ship and traveling to Mecca.
