What are examples of major tactical victories that were a disaster strategically?

Take the Battle of Coronel for example

>WW1
>British and German squadrons running around South America, don't expect to actually meet each other
>They meet each other
>British squadron outmatched but ordered to fight
>absolutely decimated
>German commander awarded with flowers
>"These will do nicely for my grave"
>British are shocked by the loss and send a proportionately massive force
>Germans wiped out while trying to escape the theater

America never lost a battle in Vietnam.
Still considered a disaster.
