Charity Quiz Saturday April 20Th 2013

[Vimto]

Morning all, two questions here which I posted during the week but thought the Saturday crowd might have a go at them.
The first is from a comparisons quiz:
As close as (3,4,2,1,4). I have an answer: "the nose on a face" but cannot find any reference to it or it may be something entirely different.
The second is from a quiz where all the answers are the name of a famous building:
Symbol of naval power (1,1,1,7). I have been offered HMS Victory, HMS Belfast and other HMS ships but these can hardly be classed as buildings. Any thoughts anyone please.

is it buildings past and present because HMS Nelson was called HMS Victory a shorebase in pompey

The nose on the face one has been asked on here several times before - we all felt it was a setter error, we all know it as "the nose on your face"

[Baldric]

HMS Raleigh (Torpoint, Cornwall)
HMS Neptune (HMNB Clyde, Faslane, Dunbartonshire)
both land bases?

[grasscarp]

When I answered this before I said that HMS Warrior is very much a building, that I have been inside many times and I gave a link to it.

Thank you for your ideas of HMS land stations and in particular grasscarp's HMS Warrior. I realise and understand about these land stations but we are after famous buildings here but I hardly think that these are notable in any particular way. All the other answers in this quiz are immediately familiar. However, I am most grateful for your suggestions and I'm sure when the question is solved it will be apparently obvious. Boxtops, I have been in touch with the compilers in a roundabout sort of way and am assured that no mistake has been made in compilation so we should still seek a solution.
