1) I have my own counter in WIF.
2) My fate is shown in a movie.

barham
No, not HMS Barham. But she definitely deserves a quiz. [:)]

I suppose that with 'movie' I meant 'feature film'.

Orm, when you say no counter, do you mean there is a generic counter E.g. ASW or Sub?

It has been my intention to say 'part of counter' or something like that if it is a sub or something like that. No counter means just that I think that it is not even part of a generic counter. But I notice now that I been didn't express one of the clues correctly. I soon amend it.

Nothing right here either. Hr. Ms. Thor and Hr. Ms. Tyr sound like a couple of icebreakers. [:)] Never heard of them. [:(]

Best Guesses:

2. KMS Scharnhorst (as previously determined)
3. USS Panay
4. USS Utah (That has a counter...?) OR could be either Yamato or Musashi.
5. Want to say USS Flasher, but can't confirm that GW Grider has a statue. OR could be any of the several escort ships commanded by Frederic John Walker.

USS Panay is correct. Since I was looking for HMS Starling commanded by Captain Frederic John Walker, CB, DSO, I'll give you a correct answer for that one as well. Well done. [:)]

That's the USS Indianapolis (pictured alongside DD-240 USS Sturtevant in 1934).

(Bismarck was also sunk after being hit by two swordfish torpedoes, her fate was shown in the movie Sink the Bismark, and I'm pretty sure she has a WiF counter.) :-)
