Well I'll try the shotgun effect, it must be one of these :
Saumarez, Savage, Scorpion, Scourge, Serapis, Swift, Shark (Norwegian Svenner), Success(Norwegian Stord)
So starting at the beginning is it Saumarez
Sorry, it was either this, or six posts. [:)]

I usually have only a rough idea in my head when I choose the ship so I do not have definitive questions. However, I said this was for the grognards so would have had a vague reference to the post war "Corfu Incident" as one clue, as well as the fact she took part in a famous action during the war in northern waters (North Cape). I would also have said the ships' name suggests a Spanish or Latin American vessel - but she was named after a famous Admiral not from any of those countries.
However, you ruined my fun [:@][;)]

Well I can't claim much knowledge, as I said, it was using a shotgun method and a shot in the dark at that. [:)]

I am an airbase completed in 1943.
Only a single offensive operational mission was flown from this base during WW2.

Blucher, Hipper or Prinz Eugen - I'll go for Prinz Eugen
On second thoughts - I can't see a Caesar turret so maybe it is Scharnhorst.....I'll stick with Eugen though.

It is indeed Prinz Eugen. Nice work in identifying her.[&o]
She had after all been mistaken for another ship before.

It is there. It looks to be aiming to the port side.
Edit: As been pointed out it is the starboard side.
