Naval blockade of landbridges...

Beg to disagree... try putting three fleets in the straits and wait to see the AI try to pass... I don't know if it is technically a land bridge blockade or simply a an AI behaviour but they do not pass. Though I dont use this as a tactic, I used this in EB 0.8 I believe.

I don't think those ships actually blockade the crossing. They do exert zone of control though, so it could take 2,3, even 4 turns to make it past that crossing (depending on how many times the ZoC stops your movement.

Naval units do not exude a Zone of Control on land units, with that is what you are suggesting.

Perhaps if you had a unit inside the ship, would it exert a zone of control to stop enemy units?

Nope, tried that. Once a unit is in a ship, it is no longer counted by anything. But from my experience, ships do block AI armies from crossing. Just as armies block diplomats from crossing bridges. Not because of zone of control or other stuff, but simply because there is no space to move.
