Naval Bases

 Toulon, Sevastopol and all Central Powers major ports have a capacity of five capital ships and ten light ships. Other major ports have a capacity of  three capital ships and six light ships. More ships may be at the ports, but the most that may operate from the port is determined from the port capacity. Minor ports have a capacity of six light ships. DNs, BCs, BBs, and ACs are capital ships. All other ships are light ships. The only special case is ACs, at the owner’s option an AC may be based as if it were 2 light ships. Capital ship capacity may be used for basing light ships, but not of course vice versa.

 Control of a port is determined in the strategic phase, allies may voluntarily give up control of a port to another ally. Note that this is the only way the Germans can base their ships as they start with no controlled ports. Whoever controls a port controls all of the ships in the port, excepting only if the ships have a transfer base mission.
