Short answer HH is 'No'!
That particular Exeter as modelled was -
HMS Exeter (68) a York-class heavy cruiser launched in 1929. She fought at the River Plate in 1939, and was sunk during the Second Battle of the Java Sea on 1 March 1942.

HMS Exeter was planned as a Type 61 frigate. She was ordered in 1956, but cancelled in 1957.

The last HMS Exeter (D89) was a Type 42 destroyer, launched in 1979. She served in the Falklands War and the Gulf War, and was in service until she was decommissioned on 27 May 2009.

Was the Exeter around in 1966? Maybe in Manchester, liverpool, London or Plymouth ship yard? The HMS Agencourt was with us in NATO exercises. As well as Dutch ship Drenthe. Also a sub called Sea Lion or Zee Lu ( that ship is in Fall River MA now) and can be visited. Anyone have any Agencourt models?

here are a couple of pics of half my Naval fleet. HMS Exeter at 1:96 scale; HMS York 1:96 scale; Fairmile B 1:12 scale - all of them plank on frame, scratch built.

Antenna’s lower down to get in the car

My Crocket is still not done. Rails are next on main deck. I see some good ideas from your for a few things. Very well done mate. The antenna on right is leaning forward? Is that correct? I haven’t added prop shafts yet either. I did 3D printing some parts on mine. Doors, gas cans and the Boston Whaler. Funny thing I met the whaler owner a few times. His wife was the first class Stewardess on American Airlines (Betty). It was on the Boston to San Juan PR run. At one time I flew diwn there Monday and home Friday for several years. I have to say the Dumas kit was good wood, instructions and plenty of material. I fiberglassed the hull after a lot of sanding. Your model is superb . Enjoyable build.

My USS Crockett

I have three warships "protecting" my fleet.

1. LCM-3 (WWII) 1/35 scale. Small (18") and built from a plastic kit and motorized by two modified servos (F, S, R) and features a duce-and-a-half as the load.

2. PT61 (WWII) 1/20 scale. Kind of big at 47 inches, it is currently my largest model. Fiberglass hull, deck, and cabin, of the Elco 77 foot PT45 through PT68 sub-class. I didn't want to build the common standard version and found some info on the PT to "Gunboat" conversion of the real boat. So I went for this version and it looks pretty mean.

3. German Wiesel (cold war, Bundesmarine) 1/40 scale. Fairly big at 42 inches long, it is sleek and slender. Like its predecessors, it is a good looking model. I made many changes and corrections to this Graupner model by using many photographs of the real Zobel class Schnellboots.

Ironically, I had just started disassembling the Wiesel when the hurricane hit us. I is still sitting it the display case in pieces. Those propellers you see in the last photo will be replaced with 3D printed ones I already made.

One thing you might notice is the addition of figures. All of my boats have figures. 1/40 is my smallest scale as I prefer to have a small boat at a larger scale than a large boat at a smaller scale.
