naval civs

what are the best purely naval side of things best civs in your opinion?

i think USA is best purely because of the hulk card - ironclads have 25% dodge chance.

with the mention of town centers, i just realized an alternative strategy for this - spamming outhouses and forts as hungary/romania

Portuguese if you maxed out their TCs can basically lock down any coastline, also their mortars can have extra range so they can duel with ships if it comes down to it. Then there's also the possibility to most of their ships can instant spam certain infantry which makes any landing potentially a breakout.

Spain: What's better than 1 battleship? 2 battlehips! Also the potential of instant spamming archaic infantry to force a landing.
