    HMS Ajax flagship, played by HMS Sheffield
    HMS Exeter played by HMS Jamaica
    HMNZS Achilles played by herself (at the time in service with the Indian Navy as INS Delhi)
    HMS Cumberland played by herself when she joins the British squadron after the battle, (and by HMS Jamaica in the final scenes off Montevideo).
    HMS Birmingham was used for the firing of some of the guns, and to depict the explosions on the foredeck of Exeter, as well as the scene on the deck of Graf Spee showing the flag-draped coffins of dead German sailors laid out for buria

    I enjoy conversing with self-aware planet destroying nukes.
    I once had a Dark Star type conversation with a DBA late into the evening during a deployment, as Bob had copied and pasted the instructions verbatim from the pre-prod to prod deployment with no amendment for server names or IP addressing, sadly (and rightly so) the DBA refused to deviate from any of the scripted instructions...

    Today's film

    Sands of Iwo Jima


    From the Halls of Montezuma,
    To the shores of Tripoli;
    We fight our country's battles
    In the air, on land, and sea;
    First to fight for right and freedom
    And to keep our honor clean:
    We are proud to claim the title
    Of United States Marine.

    Our flag's unfurled to every breeze
    From dawn to setting sun;
    We have fought in every clime and place
    Where we could take a gun;
    In the snow of far-off Northern lands
    And in sunny tropic scenes;
    You will find us always on the job
    The United States Marines.

    Here's health to you and to our Corps
    Which we are proud to serve;
    In many a strife we've fought for life
    And never lost our nerve;
    If the Army and the Navy
    Ever look on Heaven’s scenes;
    They will find the streets are guarded
    By United States Marines.
