A FINELY DETAILED 1:200 SCALE WATERLINE MODEL FOR THE HEAVY CRUISER H.M.S. EXETER AS IN FITTED IN 1942, modelled by John R. Haynes with bespoke pre-formed hull with lined decks and minutely observed fittings as appropriate and including main and secondary armament, anti-aircraft guns, fully fitted bridge with binnacles, voice tubes, range finder, communications mast with radio aerials and lanyard, signal flag racks, fitted boats on launches, Supermarine Walrus seaplane, and much other fine detailing, set on a light green-blue base with plate, glazed wooden cover, overall measurements -- 10« x 39 x 8óin. (26 x 99 x 22cm.), Exeter first came into prominence at the battle of the River Plate which ended in the destruction of the German pocket battleship Admiral Graf Spee, in December 1939. Having sustained the full weight of the enemy~s heavy guns until her consorts, Ajax and Achillies, arrived, Exeter scraped through with four of her six 8in. guns out of action and her steering gear smashed. After a lengthy refit, early in 1942 she was in Far Eastern waters under Capt. O.L. Gordon, M.V.O., and, on February 27th she formed one of a force of cruisers and destroyers led by Rear-Admiral K. Doorman of the Royal Netherlands Navy engaged in repelling a Japanese landing in the Dutch East Indies. The Allied forces comprised, beside Exeter, the Dutch cruisers De Ruyter, (flagship) and Java, the Australian cruiser Perth, the U.S. heavy cruiser Houston, and the Dutch destroyer Kortenaer with the British destroyers Electra, Encounter and Jupiter. Not one ship of this unfortunate squadron escaped destruction. The Japanese force comprised the cruisers Nati and Haguaro, two lighter cruisers and about a dozen destroyers. Action was joined at about 4 o~clock in the afternoon, Exeter receiving a hit from an 8in. shell which caused great damage in the boiler room, putting six of her eight boilers out of action and considerably reducing her speed. In these circumstances she had no alternative than to go about for Sourabaya as she could not keep up with her consorts. At Sourabaya she made contact with the U.S. destroyer Pope and was later joined by Encounter, the three ships leaving under cover of night for Australia. For this voyage Exeter~s maximum speed was at first 15 knots, but her engine room staff worked heroically through the night and by morning three more boilers were in use and speed had increased to 26 knots. Her plight was still very grave, however, as she had expended four-fifths of her 8in. gun ammunition in the recent action and was in no condition to fight a prolonged engagement. At 9.35 on the morning of March 1st the ships ran into three Japanese cruisers and some four or five destroyers and Exeter sent out a wireless message that she was about to engage the enemy. Despite the odds the battered cruiser fought well for over two hours after which time, at just before noon, she was sunk by her crew. Her boilers had been wrecked and all her ammunition expended before she sank. The loss on board the Exeter in both actions amounted to 54 officers and men killed. The survivors were taken prisoner by the Japanese and no less than 152 of them died in captivity. Capt. Gordon, who was released at the conclusion of hostilities, had preserved his records of the action in a tube of shaving cream. The destroyer Encounter sank shortly after the cruiser, but Pope, which scored a hit on a cruiser, ran into a rain squall and was not located for more than a hour, at the end of which time she was attacked and sunk by Japanese bombers.
