    Because the aircraft's correct designation was the Messerschmitt Bf 109.

    Correct. Only a few 109s were given the designation Me-109 and there were actually specific instructions from the ministry to not do so.

    Near enough! It was named Admiral Graf von Spee, and was known as a pocket battleship. It was much faster and more heavily armed than a Heavy Cruiser, but only armored as such.

    Your turn! :)

    Let's stay on ships.

    Which is the only US ship to be named after another nation's capital and another nation's ship (yes, just 1 ship).

    I am inclined to say the Baltimore class cruiser USS Canberra which entered service in 1943.

    Correct. Named after HMAS Canberra which was badly damaged (possibly by a US torpedo) during the Battle of Savo Island and later scuttled.

    Australia was going to name another ship HMAS Canberra but due to Allied rules on duplication of ship names, and feeling honoured by the USN, instead chose to name that ship HMAS Bataan.
