If the EB team takes a hardline stance against naval bases on The Caspian, and other area's like it, then why not limit the military ports to only the most basic fleets, like Lemboi as Bootsiuv suggested.
Hell, perhaps it could even be considered to have a small, inferior quality fleet recruited at mercantile-level ports called "Patrol Fleet", or "Coastal Defense Fleet", or something of that manner.
