Afternoon Suprtramp.
Yes it can. Only Navy blocks naval movement(or a Strait of course!).
An island is a separate territory, yes.
With the exception of Subs and Transports, which cannot block enemy movement by themselves.
if I capture a sea base during the combat of my turn, can ships in the sea zone then move three in noncombat?

Nope. Page 22 of the manual: “If a territory is captured, any facilities there are also captured. The capturing player can use them on the turn after they are captured”.
ah, thank you. I looked on the unit description for Naval bases and didn’t see anything.
