It seems kind of silly that a ship or fleet has to wait one turn to enter port going from Norfolk to Philadelphia or Norfolk to New York. Isn't one turn supposed to represent a week? If so, it sure doesn't take a week to get from Norfolk to Philadelphia.

My cousin was in the Navy and his skipper ran them aground when trying to leave San Francisco Bay with the Enterprise. Needless to say he was immediately removed from command of the ship. Maybe the designers of the game are just being realistic?

In what kind of way does this answer the question from Crusader?

Hehe I did not see where he was asking a question other than that he did not understand why docking or setting afloat with a ship should take a week...I figured that might be one possible answer to the question...or maybe it takes a week to prep a ship to set sail which frankly is a time consuming process from what I have seen in my experience.

Yes but getting into port should not be a problem, especially if you have wounded on board your ships. Do they ahve to die because they have to wait 1 week to get into port?

Due to the limitations of the game it's not unreasonable. Im not saying it takes a week for ship to dock in port. However the game deals in time increments of weeks only. I'm sure the developers could make a way to change the time flow however by slowing it down it could make the game boring and tedious. So no it shouldn't take a week but the game is limited by weeks so its one of those things we just have to deal with.
