Historical description

HMS Ajax was one of the Leander-class cruisers, distinguished during numerous Royal Navy wartime operations. It gained its greatest fame during the famous Battle of the River Plate in December 1939, where, together with HMS Exeter and HMS Achilles, it faced the German pocket battleship Admiral Graf Spee. Ajax played a key role in blocking the German ship, contributing to its scuttling. The ship also served in the Mediterranean, taking part in, among others, the Battle of Crete and convoy escort missions. HMS Ajax was in service from the 1930s until the end of World War II.
