You use a special ability for that:row hard for X strokeswhich accelerates the ship for a while.
This option is useful both during the escape and during the pursuit or ramming attack.
Unfortunately your troops can’t fly so jumping from the ship bow to the enemy ship stern is impossible.
Commanding ships is a bit more challenging than in case of infantry or cavalry.
In addition each ship has its own crew - when it is defeated the ship gets useless.
In case of naval battles it is hard to use any formations, because the situation changes very fast.
In the meantime your artillery ships should fire at heaviest and slowest enemy units.
A few hits from ballista will sink any hostile ship.
Fast board ships should attack and block heaviest enemy units.
The fight on the board of the artillery ship will block its ability to carry on fire.
To make life easier, I suggest using the pause button very often and give orders to single units.
