Do we need a rock-paper-scissors effect earlier on ocean? like there is in modern era. Do we need more naval units?. Suggestions for naval units welcome.
 
Arguably not. What would players do with the additional units in the early game?

As for additional naval units, the only one that I think MIGHT be nice would be a coal-fired ocean-going armored cruiser, either in addition to or in place of the Ironclad. Otherwise, I think naval units are good enough as is.

This is not to say that I think naval COMBAT is good enough as is...but I don't think adding new units will eliminate that concern. At the very least, a naval patrol order that permits interception of incoming enemy fleets (akin to the fighter patrol order,) would be helpful. It would also be nice for carrier-based aircraft to defend units in their stack against naval attack.
 
Coal-propelled units can easily be represented by moving the +1 naval movement from refrigeration to railroads.
