With my hundreds of hours in game, you'd think I'd know this by now, but I haven't really tried it yet. Anyways, when launching port strikes via bombers, does one target the sea zone or the state the port is in? 
Embarrassing question about port strikes

State and you need to have air superiority (60%+ ?) there to be able to strike the fleet .
The land zone within which the ports rest, unless you are in an island sea zone such as Micronesia in which case the sea zone includes all of the small island ports. Likewise defensive air superiority to defend against such strikes has to be placed in the land zone within which the ports are located.
Thanks, I thought that was how it worked. Just one of those times at work when the brain shifts to HoI4.
I have a related question.
I'm new to HOI4 but in 3 you could see fleets in a port from the Icon. Is it the same in Hoi4? I am partway through a game and have not seen it yet.

I believe you can only see details on a fleet if it is yours or belongs to one of your allies. In spite of that, a port strike mission always knows if targets are available, and if so, it knows exactly where to find them.
I believe this is correct. I don't think you actually see where the enemy fleet is docked (this might change in a future Intel/Espionage expansion)
