Is it just me or what? but I am having a very hard time figuring out how to assign fleets to theatres , fleet admiral commands, etc all the Anchors and the different symbols are don’t make sense to me. Is there a link or a video I can watch that explains all this? The command structure of the navy is much more complicated in comparison to the Army. thank you!

It take me 1 year (maybe 1.5 yr) to figure out HOI4 naval UI and control. It very frustrate and confuse UI.
Problem:
1. Ship go to random Port. Paradox remove Home Port feature for Task Force and Fleet. Not know why.
2. When have one Task Force select, it show you all Task Force operation in Fleet. This make screen big confuse mess. Color and icon everywhere.
3. All Task Force in Fleet doing Mission have to operate in same exact zone. This very confuse me for long time and very frustrate. Game not tell you this at all.
Example: I want Task Force 1 to do Convoy Escort in Zone A and Zone B. And Task Force 2 to do Convoy Escort in Zone C. But when try it not work and game not let you. All Task Force in Fleet doing Convoy Escort have to operate in same exact Zone.
Example: I want Task Force 1 to do Convoy Escort in Zone A and Zone B. And Task Force 2 to do Convoy Raid in Zone C and Zone D. But when try it not work and game not let you. All Task Force in Fleet have to operate in same exact Zone no matter what Mission they do.
It very confuse. Game not tell you. And this mean you have to break ship into unrealistic many many Fleet. And you need many many Admiral. Task Force in Fleet should be able to operate in different zone. Why Task Force doing different Mission all have to operate in same exact zone? It not make sense. I think Paradox make coding error or forget before release.
4. Can't auto-reinforce Task Force base on ship class. Only can auto-reinforce Task Force base on icon you select. There only 8 or 9 icon and you have to memorize what ship have what icon.
5. Other problem with naval is lack in good feedback. When navy battle happen the icon not tell you who is winning. It just have generic icon. Other problem is you not know exactly what happen during navy battle. After battle over, navy battle screen tell you who win. It tell you end result. But it not tell you what happen during battle every day and hour. So you have to guess what happen.
This make it very hard to understand what happen in battle. What ship do good. What ship do bad. Why ship do good or bad. How you need to improve ship. When navy battle over and you click icon it should tell you exactly what happen each day and hour. Then player can learn how to make better ship and navy.

reinforcement is per ship class AND icon. Thus a destroyer Crab icon won't go into a cruiser Crab icon slot.
This means there is 5 icons per ship class available (which should be more than enough). There is also a star icon which should be any ship of that class regardless of icon.
