Yes.

Anyone could be forgiven for thinking that the whole stack goes to the bottom if it loses though I am sure (I hope) that this is not the case.

its hard to say, because up to a certain point the odds of a 3 fleet stack versus any single fleet seem better - yet not so better as to definitely conclude that stacking fleets does actually make them fight as a whole stack.

Attackers always seem to have the advantage.

Yes and no. In my experience wherever the conflict happens in a sea region i have a port the sucess rate of defence seems quite high.

But yes who knows - perhaps its better that we don't really know. I know that many people resented the trade and naval system in MTW, but i find it really satisfying in the sense that it has strategic/gameplay repercussions and also fleets/ships look very nice imho especially when they sail!
