| There's something about the Battle of the River Plate that has always fascinated me. Love the film too, especially with INS Delhi returning to her roots and becoming HMS Achilles again. Cumberland did the same but came in after the battle after Exeter had limped away to the Falklands. There's something about watching those big gun ships heeling over, turning hard, making smoke...can't replicate that today!
