demon fox should fly the b5n and ju-87 exclusively for a month...then come tell us how he likes it low and slow...even those 2 aircraft are faster than the pby.

I wonder if any of those aircraft would actually be useful in a low altitude, low E defense role...  I somewhat doubt it.

Well, the addition of the planes you listed aren't going to make taking the port tougher, since almost all of the ones you listed were scout/patrol planes.

If it's a fighter you're looking for to station at ports then the A6M2-N would be a good choice since it was 1) a float plane and 2) a fighter.
