Winston's back! The cry rang out around the ships of the Royal Navy. But the navy was out of date after years of neglect and needed a success and soon. So Churchill chose his target, the Graf Spee. Against the odds, the battered Spee is surrounded by five British ships. But what now?
The battle itself is very inadequately described. After HMS Exeter which carried 8" guns was severely damaged, HMS Ajax and HMAS Achilles closed the range and it was the fire from their 6" guns which forced the Graf Spee to run without finshing the destruction of Exeter.
