I'm inclined to think that when one factor is garrisoning a port city, only 
a small detachment of that factor is actually manning the harbor defenses. 
It shouldn't take all 5000 men to do that. The way we measure force sizes 
in the game just isn't granular enough to let us track every company-sized 
detachment that gets sent off to do something. It seems reasonable that a 
depot garrison would be able to send a company or two off to the harbor 
without suffering a noticeable decrease in effectiveness.
