Constanta was indeed the navy base...

...about romanian sailors destinated at black sea during ww2 as mine in the picture used this cap tally or the whole romanian navy used this cap tally?

...but I have no information of this sort.

Judging by the size of the shell, I would say it's a 17 cm caliber battery.
