The Royal Navy sometimes has to move or secure ships for storm avoidance, as the U.S. Navy does in Hawaii. Channel-area bases benefit from protected anchorages, while places such as Scapa Flow can still require special action. Geography and harbour quality therefore shape routine fleet weather planning.
