I have a Battleship TF that I have been unable to resupply at one of my Bases.... the port is 3(4) and I have plenty of supplies......

compare the battleship size (tons) with the max ship size (tons) of the port

If too big, you can still refuel if you have a tanker or AO in the port, either anchored or disbanded

The port is too small for:

a: The task force to dock (can't transfer big shells via little boats to a TF anchored off shore)
b: Even if it could dock, battleship weapons need a larger port

A good idea now with the logistics in AE is to...move AE's foreward as part of a fleet train. I have a whole array of support vessels at smaller ports for this purpose.

There is a table in the manual that outlines the sizes of the ports and the number of naval support points needed to restock various caliber guns. If I remember correctly, 16 inch guns probably need a size seven port and 200-250 naval support points to rearm. At any rate, there is a table dealing with this rearm issue.

Now for my question: Can AKE's rearmy BBs? Does is depend on port size?

Depends on AE/AKE capacity and current supplies.

Basically the cost is weapon effect x 2, so 5400 for the newer USN 16inchers. Any AKE with this or more capacity, and a supply level above that number, can rearm them. Upon doing so, the supply number will drop (but not by 5400!). If the number falls below the requirement, youll have to fill it up before it can reload the big stuff again.

Its a reasonable system, though sadly it dosent allow us to create dedicated smaller AEs for heavy ammo (like Kashino for IJN 18ins).

Here is discussion about the same issue:

On short you need AE ships (ammo carrier ship) and load supplies to them to be able to re-supply biggest ships from small ports.

This is just one of the new logistics realism feature of Admirals Edition.

You need to learn to use your array of support vessels to be able to wage war on front lines... :D
