how do i get cv shorties replentish

When you said "shorties" I thought that you meant something else.
Sorties are replenished at a large port, forget the size limit. Or from a AKE ship with supply on board that is disbanded in any size port from 0 to 10....GP

For some reason, AEs also work at replenishing sorties . . .

Oh, forgot that one....GP

And AKEs. I had CV TFs replenish at a level 5 port with no support ships, but I don't recall if I had a naval BF to add naval support points to the port level.

Does "forget the size limit" mean that the "Ship rearmament at ports table" on page 284 of the manual is not relevant for the current version of the game or should I learn that rearming at a relatively small but theoretically large enough port would take too long to be practical ?

I think that it means that he forgot what the port size needs to be. It is a problem for some who become old and dec . . .

You need a port level 6 to replenish sorties and a port level of 7 to replenish the aerial torpedoes on the aircraft carriers that carry them. Or the extra Naval Support or the appropriate tenders with sufficient supplies on board.

Page 284 . . .

"20.1.2.2 SHIP REARMAMENT AT PORTS TABLE
The Rearm Table shows the number of Naval Support squads, in different size Ports, and/or
the types of tenders, required for rearming certain weapons. A TF can ‘completely’ rearm in a
port if the Rearm Cost of the largest weapon is “less than or equal to” the native Rearm Level
of a Port, plus the number of Naval Support squads in the Port. Each Naval Support squad =
5 Rearm points.
Ports that are normally too small to rearm certain weapons may do so if an appropriate tender
is at anchor in the Port. The weapon Rearm Cost must be “less than or equal to” the tender
“cargo capacity”.
As a TF rearms, it consumes supply. The amount of supply required for each weapon, for each
ship, is [(Rearm Cost) * (number of guns) * (ammo per gun)] / 2000.
* Yamato/Musashi may also rearm at a Port-9, or a Port-8 with at least 88 Naval Support
squads.
* AG may only rearm “Small Escort and Small Craft” as defined in 14.2.3.2"
