Okay, let's have a go...
1. I dunno. (Good start.)
2. Altitude?
3. Tirpitz.
4. Err... 1975?
5. Difference in size, intended role (IIRC Su-27 was intended as a long-range fighter/interceptor while the MiG-29 was a tactical fighter for Frontal Aviation) and control systems (majority of MiG-29s have conventional control while the Su-27 has FBW [I think])
6. Mitsubishi A6M Reisen, Mitsubishi J2M Raiden and Nakajima Ki-43 Hayabusa
7. Bock's Car
8. September, over territorial claims and for Kuwait's oilfields?
9. Ah. I don't know.
10. Collins.
11. Er... Han class, I'm thinking 1981. Or thereabouts.
12. American Civil War.
13. The longbow.
14. The bomber he was riding in was shot down by a P-38 fighter sweep specifically targeting the Admiral.
15. UGM-93A
16. Rhone?
17. Knock down defensive walls using a swinging beam?
18. Akagi.
19. HMS Antelope, damaged by several bomb hits in San Carlos water then sunk hours later, by an unexploded bomb detonation, which set off the ship's magazine.
20. Victory and Renown(?)
