Admiral Graf Spee differed from other Deutschland-class "pocket battleships" with her larger dimensions and improved armor. With the outbreak of World War II, the ship set out on her first and last raid to the Atlantic, where she managed to capture and sink several British merchant ships. The ship engaged British cruisers Exeter, Ajax, and Achilles in a battle near La Plata and headed for Montevideo to effect repairs. After receiving erroneous intel that the British ships had amassed and were waiting at the port exit, the commander of Admiral Graf Spee ordered the ship to be scuttled.
