1) where can I find the naval combat width tooltip in theUI?

2) let's say the naval engagement width is 33, so 11 heavies fit in the line; and I have stacked naval ideas to the point that I should win any heavy vs. heavy battle. is there a point when I have 'too many' heavies in a fleet? In other words, roughly speaking, how many heavies should I have in one stack to ensure I that by the time the enemy replacements begin to sink my ships, their morale goes to 0. (Not sure how clearly I worded this). Is the answer something like 2X naval engagement width?

thanks in advance

1) Naval combat width is a base 25, with a couple small modifiers, the most important being your admirals movement stat.

2) Doom stacks are usually the way to go when protecting transports. You can probably get away with 30 or so heavies protecting any number of transports if you can 1:1 trash a good navy, like England's.
