Now why can't we have it battle our foes?

You need to attach an admiral to your fleet to make them combat-capable.

As of right now, you can only appoint sub commanders.

Your reply made me check what sub I was in.

But I wouldn't bother as medieval subs were made of wood and would sink all the time.

Because as long as fleets function as armies on water it's better this way than how it works in EU4.

The best way to simulate fleet combat would be to make hostile fleets in the same seazone (and any armies carried by them) take attrition to represent series of clashes between them. But the God's eye perspective and fleets blocking of entire seazones like in Eu4, is just nonsense.
