I couldn't remember where HMS Ark Royal was built.

They were pretty basic questions to me.

90% Got Ark Royal's "birth place" wrong and guessed which landings were supported and nutted my way through the shortest serving US carrier. Helps that I'm reading Charles Lamb's War in a Stringbag at the moment!

Cheers
