HMS Exeter

Some very poor photos of my newest World War II ship HMS Exeter my first Royal navy ship.
Exeter successfully battle the "pocket battleship" Graf Spee (with the help of HMS Ajax and HMS Achilles)
She had a lot less success as part of the international scratch force of ships opposing the Japanese in the Java sea where she sank in the second battle of the Java Sea.  Her Wreck was found in 2007 but was destroyed by illegal salvage some time between then and 2016.
