Now that is good information - the US ADM's have much bigger yields then - and if you are looking at as little as .2 kilotons then you could need several devices considering the size of the naval base - i.e. 200 tons of TNT is a lot but the Halifax Explosion its not
So basically the ADM's would be looking at an explosive force similar to the Beirut explosion most likely - which wrecked their port
