ships used were...
Admiral Graf Spee played by heavy cruiser USS Salem
Supply ship Altmark played by the fleet oiler RFA Olna
HMS Ajax, flagship, played by HMS Sheffield
HMS Exeter played by HMS Jamaica
HMNZS Achilles played by herself (at the time in service with the Indian Navy as INS Delhi)
HMS Cumberland played by herself when she joins the British squadron after the battle, (and by HMS Jamaica in the final scenes off Montevideo)
German freighter Tacoma, which took the crew off Admiral Graf Spee before scuttling, played by RFA Fort Duquesne
Gunboat Uruguay, boarding the Tacoma, was played by a British Ton-class minesweeper
HMS Birmingham used for the firing of some of the guns, and to depict the explosions on the foredeck of Exeter, and as Admiral Graf Spee during the replenishment scene with Altmark, as well as the scene on the deck of Admiral Graf Spee showing the flag-draped coffins of dead German sailors laid out for burial in Montevideo
Destroyers HMS Battleaxe and USS William R. Rush used as camera ships. The latter remained in service for many decades after the film, not being scrapped until 2016 after being transferred to the South Korea Navy in 1978.

When The Battle of the River Plate was completed and screened for executives at the Rank Organisation, it was received so well that it was decided to hold the release of the film for a year, so that it could be chosen as part of the next year's Royal Film Performance (in 1956), since 1955's film had already been selected. The royal premiere was held at the Odeon Leicester Square on 29 October 1956 in the presence of Queen Elizabeth II and Princess Margaret

Good film that, one of my father's favourites along with 'Sink The Bismarck' and 'Tora, Tora, Tora.'

Although nominated for 5 Academy awards, it won none surprisingly. The film was pretty much universally acclaimed, bar the Catholic church... Guess you cant please everyone. Still fresh and witty, and is constantly on the go.. One of the Greats

Was very successful film although many critics slayed it. Good, if highly improbable fun... its a film after all.
