Overview
Under the 1926 and 1927 programs, it was planned to build four 10,000-ton cruisers, but in order to save the budget, it was decided to build reduced-tonnage cruisers. HMS Exeter entered service in July 1931. During the interwar period, it served in the Atlantic and Mediterranean Fleets and in the West Indies. At the start of World War II, it participated in the hunt for German raiders. In 1939, it fought in the Battle of the River Plate. On February 27, 1942, while fighting in the first Battle of the Java Sea, it was damaged by Japanese cruisers' fire. In the second battle, Exeter sank.
