Naval Blockades and Ship Types

[canuckgamer]

The manual does not indicate if there are any ship types that cannot blockade or supply beachheads.

Can submarines and patrol craft be used for naval blockades?

I know that submarines can supply beachheads but can patrol craft do that as well?

So, only DD, CL, CA, BC, BB, CVL, CVE, CV can do a port blockade but any fleet can help to break it.
And, any fleet can perform beachhead supply.

Thanks, I take screenshots of pages for easy reference and the screenshot I have about port blockades is obviously outdated as it read "small islands can be blockaded by a single naval group, all other hexes can be blockaded by 3 naval groups"

I have now taken a screenshot from the latest manual.

True, the rule has evolved since release to avoid plenty of gamey exploit. Game is far better now.
