Gents,

The O and N were not port designations. They are FLEET designations, N= Nordsee, home ported at Williamshaven and O=Ostsee, home ported in Kiel. As for other German ports during W.W. II, essentially all European ports north of Spain, excluding the UK, neutral countries and the USSR, were German occupied ports. The kriegsmarine did not use any formal code system to indicate these ports or equipment assigned.
