I've only heard about this happening (being trapped) once - that was when
the navy had recruited since arriving in harbor, and didn't have enough
transports to leave.  As far as I know (up through 154), navies are not
being trapped.  In fact, this is still almost SOP for the LR navy at Tol
Buruth, and almost as common for the QA.
