      I know what a “warm water port” is supposed to describe but what word would an American use ?

        The US has ports up its entire coastline to Maine and Washington State that don’t freeze over. Warm water is a Russian tell because their ports do freeze over for months at a time in winter.

        But yes, they can be called ports, or docks, or even seaport like airport.
