I'm pretty sure the warships are semi-randomized; that is, they come and go at the different bases at different times. If not, it's made to seem that way to the player.
Of course if it was totally realistic you'd never get to raid a harbor at all. After getting snookered at Scapa Flow they made it very, very much harder.
