As far as I know there was only 1 ark royal in ww2 and that was a aircraft carrier and if am not mistaken the Exeter was a british Cruiser.

Yep, the Exeter was a York-class heavy cruiser (1929) ~ 8300 tons, and featured in the Battle of the River Plate. The only other ship in the class was HMS York.

The Ark Royal was indeed the only ship of that name in WW2, and was a 22,000 ton ship of unique design (smaller than the Illustrious class carriers of the RN)

Cheers,

Dan
