1939年12月13日凌晨,南大西洋,拉普拉塔河口。英国皇家海军“G”舰队司令亨利·哈伍德准将发现了他梦寐以求的目标——纳粹德国的海军袖珍战列舰“格拉夫·斯佩海军上将”号(简称:“斯佩”号)。当年9月,该舰作为海上袭击舰,从北半球一路杀到南半球,在南大西洋打家劫舍,击沉了总吨位超过5万吨的英国商船。皇家海军自然欲除之而后快,重兵云集西南非洲。 Early December 13, 1939, the South Atlantic, La Plata estuary. Brigadier General Henry Harwood of the Royal Navy’s “G” Fleet discovered what he had dreamed of - Navy’s navy pocket battleship “Admiral Graf Spears” (abbreviation: "number). In September of that year, the ship as a sea attack ship, all the way from the northern hemisphere killed in the southern hemisphere, hitting home in the South Atlantic, sank a total of more than 50,000 tons of British merchant ships. The Royal Navy naturally wants to eliminate it quickly, heavily armed Southwest Africa.
