First go then, off the top of my head:

1) None, she had 38 cm, 15 cm, 10.5 cm 3.7 cm and 2 cm.

2)

3) HMS Cumberland

4) Thermopalye (I'd be suprised if that is spelt correctly!)

5) Assuming you mean the First and Second World War battleship and not the sailing ship it depends on when, in 1916 she was commanded by Vice admiral Burney. In November 1916 she became the flagship of Admiral Madden (second in command of the Grand Fleet) When had you in mind?

6) Revell 1/146th

7) The battleship Iron Duke. (Or a 60's disabled American TV cop.)

8) HMS Resolution

9) HMS Ocelot

10) Birkenhead, but you can't go round it anymore as the museum has now closed down. I'm so glad I did earlier this year.

And i forgot you are a Bismark Boffin so that didnt fool you

 

[Bunkerbarge]

The first HMS Revenge was actually built by Drake and Walter Raleigh and was captained first by Drake himself.

USS Constitution was nick-named Old Ironsides. It now resides in Boston harbour. I was lucky to be in that town in 1976 on the annual turning of the ship. This is done to keep the exposure to light and weather equal as she moored alongside a quaywall.
