Ships move in Fleets and can blockade ports, cutting port income and trade routes. Fleets can engage each other and (in single player) fight tactical battles. They will suffer battle damage which can be repaired to varying degrees at the end of the turn (I believe the normal chance to repair a certain amount of battle damage 1-5 points (?) is 10%; with a certain upgrade it is 90%). In several PBEM games I have been in, naval engagements have been won when superior fleets are engaged by 2 or more enemy fleets. The first battle will often see the superior fleet taking lots of damage but few ships sunk, while the losing fleet is trashed. A second enemy fleet arrives and engages the previously superior fleet causing many of the damaged ships to be sunk.
