NB: The following is an approximation based on known bases, asset deployments and numbers of squadrons. As can be seen, the KPN appears to disperse an eclectic mixture of Russian, Chinese and home-made ship classes across its squadrons. As the KPN is effectively a green-water navy, and due to its chronic maintenance issues, it is assumed that each squadron is effectively bound to its individual homeport.
