I gather the Royal Navy is going to have a new HMS Achilles. This fills me with joy!

If there’s wasn’t a #battleoftheriverplate hashtag, there is now! #Astute #Achilles #RNZN #RN

It was in the southern seas that their luck ran out. #I-1 was run aground by #RNZN ships (called #Kiwi and #Moa, of course) and wrecked in Jan. 1943; the IJN was unable to recover all secret material from I-1 and equally unable to destroy it, resulting in an intelligence windfall for the allies. 5/7
