Altmark was a German oil tanker and supply vessel, one of five of a class built between 1937 and 1939.
 She is best known for her support of the German commerce raider, the "pocket battleship" "Admiral Graf Spee" and her subsequent involvement in the "Altmark Incident".
HMS "Exeter" was the second and last "York"-class heavy cruiser built for the Royal Navy during the late 1920s.
 Aside from a temporary deployment with the Mediterranean Fleet during the Abyssinia Crisis of 1935–36, she spent the bulk of the 1930s assigned to the Atlantic Fleet or the North America and West Indies Station.
 When World War II began in September 1939, the ship was assigned to patrol South American waters against German commerce raiders. "Exeter" was one of three British cruisers that fought the German pocket battleship "Admiral Graf Spee" later that year in the Battle of the River Plate.
 She was extensively damaged during the battle and was under repair for over a year.
The Battle of the River Plate was the first naval battle in the Second World War and the first one of the Battle of the Atlantic in South American waters.
 The German panzerschiff "Admiral Graf Spee" had cruised into the South Atlantic a fortnight before the war began, and had been commerce raiding after receiving appropriate authorisation on 26 September 1939.
 One of the hunting groups sent by the British Admiralty to search for "Graf Spee", comprising three Royal Navy cruisers, HMS "Exeter" , "Ajax" and "Achilles" (the last from the New Zealand Division), found and engaged their quarry off the estuary of the River Plate close to the coast of Uruguay in South America.
HMS "Kent", pennant number 54, was a County-class heavy cruiser built for the Royal Navy in the late 1920s.
 She was the lead ship of the "Kent" subclass.
 After completion the ship was sent to the China Station where she remained until the beginning of the Second World War, aside from a major refit in 1937–38.
 "Kent" hunted the German pocket battleship "Admiral Graf Spee" in the East Indies in late 1939 and then was reassigned to troop convoy escort duties in the Indian Ocean in early 1940.
 She was transferred to the Mediterranean in mid-1940, but was torpedoed shortly after arriving.
 The ship was under repair for a year and was then assigned to Home Fleet where she escorted convoys to and from North Russia for the next several years.
 In mid-1944 "Kent" escorted British aircraft carriers as their aircraft made attacks on German shipping and airfields in Norway.
 A few months later was flagship of a force that intercepted a German convoy in Norwegian waters and sank two freighters and five escorts.
 The ship was paid off in early 1945 and placed in until she was used as a target.
 "Kent" was sold for scrap in 1948.
Achilles Point (Te Pane o Horoiwi - "The head of Horoiwi") is a rocky point on the headland at the eastern end of the small sandy beach named Ladies Bay, Auckland, New Zealand.
 The name 'Te Pane o Horoiwi' can also sometimes refer to the whole headland between St Heliers and Tamaki River estuary.
 Achilles Point is named after a ship called HMNZS Achilles (70) which defeated the German pocket battleship Admiral Graf Spee in 1939.
 The headland, from the point round to the Tamaki heads, was previously known as Te Pane o Horoiwi, named after Horoiwi who arrived in New Zealand on the Tainui canoe (waka).
Admiral Graf Spee was a "Deutschland"-class ""Panzerschiff"" (armored ship), nicknamed a "pocket battleship" by the British, which served with the Kriegsmarine of Nazi Germany during World War II.
 The two sister-ships of her class, "Deutschland" and "Admiral Scheer" , were reclassified as heavy cruisers in 1940.
 The vessel was named after Admiral Maximilian von Spee, commander of the East Asia Squadron that fought the battles of Coronel and the Falkland Islands, where he was killed in action, in World War I.
 She was laid down at the "Reichsmarinewerft" shipyard in Wilhelmshaven in October 1932 and completed by January 1936.
 The ship was nominally under the 10000 LT limitation on warship size imposed by the Treaty of Versailles, though with a full load displacement of 16020 LT , she significantly exceeded it.
 Armed with six 28 cm guns in two triple gun turrets, "Admiral Graf Spee" and her sisters were designed to outgun any cruiser fast enough to catch them.
 Their top speed of 28 kn left only the few battlecruisers in the Anglo-French navies fast enough and powerful enough to sink them.
Hans Wilhelm Langsdorff (20 March 1894 – 20 December 1939) was a German naval officer, most famous for his command of the "Panzerschiff" (pocket battleship) "Admiral Graf Spee" during the Battle of the River Plate.
 He held the rank of "Kapitän zur See" (naval captain).
In anatomy, the Curve of Spee (called also von Spee's curve or Spee's curvature) is defined as the curvature of the mandibular occlusal plane beginning at the tip of the lower incisors and following the buccal cusps of the posterior teeth, continuing to the terminal molar.
 According to another definition the curve of Spee is an anatomic curvature of the occlusal alignment of the teeth, beginning at the tip of the lower incisor, following the buccal cusps of the natural premolars and molars and continuing to the anterior border of the ramus.
 It is named for the German embryologist Ferdinand Graf von Spee (1855–1937), who was first to describe the anatomic relations of human teeth in the sagittal plane.
The Deutschland" class was a series of three Panzerschiffe" ("armored ships"), a form of heavily armed cruiser, built by the "Reichsmarine" officially in accordance with restrictions imposed by the Treaty of Versailles.
 The ships of the class, "Deutschland" , "Admiral Scheer" and "Admiral Graf Spee" , were all stated to displace 10000 LT in accordance with the Treaty, though they actually displaced 10600 to at standard displacement.
 Despite violating the weight limitation, the design for the ships incorporated several radical innovations to save weight.
 They were the first major warships to use welding and all-diesel propulsion.
 Due to their heavy armament of six 28 cm guns, the British began referring to the vessels as "pocket battleships".
 The "Deutschland"-class ships were initially classified as "Panzerschiffe" or "armored ships", but the "Kriegsmarine" reclassified them as heavy cruisers in February 1940.
HMS "Cossack" was a Tribal-class destroyer named after the Cossack people of the Russian and Ukrainian steppe.
 She became famous for the boarding of the German supply ship "Altmark" in Norwegian waters, and the associated rescue of sailors originally captured by the "Admiral Graf Spee" .
 She was torpedoed by "U-563" and sank on 27 October 1941.
