The first plan of the Kriegsmarine High Command decided that Brest would be a first-order Naval Base. As naval bases of second order for light surface forces were intended the ports of Cherbourg (up to destroyers) and Boulogne (S-Boote). Le Havre and Saint-Malo were intended as a naval bases of third-order for light surface forces up to destroyers.
On the Atlantic coast were also provided as naval bases of second-order, Saint Nazaire and Lorient; the first port for naval forces of all types and the second for submersibles (Lorient in turn was envisioned as a naval base of third-order for surface forces until light cruisers). Further south were provided the ports of La Rochelle-Rochefort and Bayonne as operational naval bases for light surface forces (Torpedo boats and destroyers); in turn on the Quiberon Peninsula was established an anchorage for naval forces of all types.
