	Exeter Memories - the water mills of Exeter
		One of the earliest mills in Exeter was that of the Cluniac monks of St James, who in the middle of the 12th Century built a mill at Salmon Poll.
		Exeter was the south west's centre for the finishing of woollen cloth; the process called fulling required a water wheel to drive the machinery.
		Exeter's remoteness from the coal fields meant that the water wheels were still needed to provide power for a variety of industries.

	CDR Salamander: Fullbore Friday
		Graf Spee straddled Exeter (that means shells in a salvo fall both sides of the target), one shell burst short, and killed the starboard torpedo tube crews, riddled the searchlights and the aircraft on the catapult, which was manhandled over the side, leaving the ship without any spotting capability from that source.
		Exeter valiently kept up firing her Y turret in local control, but she now had developed a 7 degree list to starboard, adding to the difficulties of keeping Y turret firing.
		It appeared that Graf Spee was neglecting Exeter, as she steered North West to close on the First Division, with Ajax assuming that the German ship would hold this course, she decided to fire off a broadside of her torpedoes.

		HMS Belfast is one of the few remaining Heavy Cruisers that fought the Second World War and acts as a floating memorial to the men who fought the Axis powers over the world’s seas.
		HMS Belfast was commissioned in 1938 just prior to the outbreak of World War II where she got a bottle of booze smashed against her hull by the wife of a Prime Minister whose name is synonymous with weakness and vacillation – Neville Chamberlain.

	Ahoy - Mac's Web Log - Battle of the Java Sea, in which Exeter was sunk
		Since all records were lost when H.M.S. EXETER was sunk, detailed accuracy in such matters as times, courses, etc., cannot be guaranteed but I am confident that the report gives as accurate a picture as it is possible to present in such circumstances.
		EXETER started to haul out of the line gradually to port simultaneously with the development of a torpedo attack by the enemy destroyers led by the one remaining four-funnel cruiser.
		EXETER's speed at this time was 23 knots on four out of the eight boilers, but shortly afterwards the Engineer Officer reported that he believed that steam could be raised in one more boiler in B boiler -room, and this boiler could be connected in about an hour.
