Port Service Boats

Inspired by the french idea of port service boats, the chinese navy also introduced a "port service boat squadron". Additional to the utility boats there are some special boats for the naval base.

This is the deployment of these craft in a "Port Service Boat Squadron". Type A is deployed at a major naval base, Type B at a minor naval base.

Type A (25 vessels):
2x small utility boat (Utility)
2x small utility boat (personnel)
2x medium utility boat (Utility)
2x medium utility boat (personnel)
2x large utility boat (Utility)
2x large utility boat (personnel)
4x Patrol Craft
2x Mine Diving Tender
3x Bomb Target
2x Underwater-Research
2x small Torpedo Retreiver


Type B (15 vessels):
2x small utility boat (Utility)
2x small utility boat (personnel)
2x medium utility boat (Utility)

Ship has slow, easy roll, a good, steady gun platform
Excellent seaboat, comfortable, can fire her guns in the heaviest weather

Comments:
The belt armor should simulate the ice breaking ability.
