Depends a lot on what time you are looking, there's always at least 1 capital ship parked somewhere. In the start of the war you can find the Hood in Plymouth (you have to start your game at the very beginning of the war and run flank to Plymouth to make sure to get through the Kanal in time so that you don't get stuck fighting your way there).

Gibraltor has a lot of warships, which just increase as the war goes on - which also includes the # of DD's and ASW Trawlers. It's not hard to safely make it in there and sink the Nelson only to die from 4 DD's DC'ing you 3 minutes later if you aren't careful.

Scapa has a lot of warships and flat tops parked early in the war till around 41', after that BB's and CV's will pop up here and there for a month or two.

Loch Ewe usually has at least 1 LC there, at times the Prince of Wales and a flat top will be parked in there as well.

There's a lot of other ports that will have anything from the Hood to flat tops parked in them for a month or two (sometimes a few more), just gotta sneak in and make note of the month/year that they are there as most capital ships don't stay moored in 1 port for the whole war. Gibraltor's about the only port (besides Norfolk) that will always have large warships parked there; as time goes on more get moored there but the security increases proportionally to the amount of juicy targets as well.

One hint for Gibraltor, especially anytime after late 40' is to be sure to set aside a time block of at least 6 hours or more (add a hour if you aren't in the 23rd Flotttille and have to go through the strait) in real time since you can't save your game there. You'll be submerged the whole time so won't be able to leave the game unless you pause it and let your machine run till you can sit down and resume play.
