@pierslindley The Graf Spee was played by heavy cruiser USS Salem. The supply ship Altmark was played by the fleet oiler RFA Olna. HMS Ajax was played by HMS Sheffield. HMS Exeter was played by HMS Jamaica. HMS Achilles was played by herself (at the time in service with the Indian Navy as INS Delhi).

When Churchill lost the 1945 election, Ajax was still in commission. When Churchill was re-elected in 1951, Ajax had been decommissioned and scrapped. Between 1945 & 1951, Churchill was out of government, and not in a position to forbid (or permit) the sale of surplus military equipment to anyone. The decision was made by the Attlee government.

Ajax was decommissioned in February, 1948, and scrapped in 1949-50. Throughout this period, a Labour government under Clement Attlee was in power. Churchill was Leader of the Opposition and as such had no say at all over what happened to Ajax. Whether he expressed an opinion or not, he lacked the authority to do anything about it.

All RN destroyers in service in 1939 had two funnels.
