6.3.5.1 SEA AREA RETREATS AND PURSUITS: The naval
combat loser retreats all fleets that were in the combat to the one
nearest unblockaded friendly (including an ally's port, with access
permission and if the loser wishes to use it) port within seven movement
points (losing player's choice if more than one possible port is equally
close). Some, none or all of the victorious fleet(s) may pursue to follow
the losing fleets and blockade that port.

I haven't seen a way to reach Sevestapol or Odessa in less than 8
moves.
