Well... honestly, I'm not that much in favor of it. As I said earlier, we've generally only moved infrastructure from sites which would be unrealistic - for instance, islands without populations, or cities that don't actually have access to the sea. I don't feel that's the case here. However, I'm not stuck on it. If the other mods agree, then I'm fine with it.

The Mako Guard District (馬公警備府, Mako Keibifu?) was the major navy base for the Imperial Japanese Navy in Taiwan before and during World War II. Located in at Mako 23°35′24″N 119°34′05″E / 23.590°N 119.568°E / 23.590; 119.568Coordinates: 23°35′24″N 119°34′05″E / 23.590°N 119.568°E / 23.590; 119.56, (present-day Makung, Pescadores Islands, Republic of China), the Mako Guard District was responsible for control of the strategic Straits of Taiwan and for patrols along the Taiwan and China coastlines and in the South China Sea.

I see it a little bit different, because ...

So in my eyes it will be okay if there is a slip and a dock, because in OTL it was so. But that's MHO. But let us see what the other mods say
This muddies the waters as to whether the Mako Guard District in fact had shipbuilding facilities, as a guard districts typically lacked such.Quoted
The Guard Districts were second tier naval bases, similar to the first tier Naval Districts, with docking, fueling and resupply facilities, but typically lacked a shipyard or training school. They tended to be established by strategic waterways or major port cities for defensive purposes. In concept, the Guard District was similar to the United States Navy Sea Frontiers concept. the Guard District maintained a small garrison force of ships and Naval Land Forces which reported directly to the Guard District commander, and hosted detachments of the numbered fleets on a temporary assignment basis.
If I may speak to this issue, I would quote the same Wikipedia article, in its further exposition:

By the way, i have no problems to be caretaker of a country if it's wished, but the netherlands are too big for me :D may be there is another one which one of the present want to give a way ;)
