The German battleship Graf Spee was involved in the Battle of the River Plate in December 1939, where it faced British warships. After sustaining damage and realizing it was outmatched, Captain Hans Langsdorff ordered the ship to be scuttled in Montevideo, Uruguay, on December 17, 1939, to prevent its capture. The crew safely evacuated, and the sinking marked a significant early naval engagement in World War II.
