It is Gibraltar.

Moved to Royal Navy Vessels.

I guessed it was Gibraltar mainly because of the depth of the drydock. The deepest dock I have ever been in and had to climb up and down several times a day. Anyone know why it was dug so deep? I did not think Gib had an unusually large a tidal range. They have the architects drawings of the dock in the offices. I should have asked the question then.
