?  Not sure what the question is.
Many times the it is a good strategy to split the warships
and transports, putting 100 men-at-arms on the warships and
using it as a pure naval force, and then using the transports
to hit the enemy pop centers.  That way the warships can run
around picking off the enemy navy without wasting time for
the transports.

For example many times for the free, N gondor and possibly
Sinda will give their warships (maybe transports too) to
S gondor, who will use one big warship navy to trash the
corsairs, while shuttling troops safely along the river.

Otherwise I'd say the starting ratios are pretty decent.
It's usually not too economical to build many ships, except
the sinda.
