If you check out mythics warhammer main site www.warhammeronline.com you might check out the screenshots and concept art where you might notice what looks like a dwarf sub/ship docked? Does this mean we will have navy battles to where you can bored ships and over run the enemy taking on there ships to use again them? wow what a neat concept anyone else hope it comes true?

With the many features that Warhammer Online will feature, I don't think it would be reasonable to make ship-war possible. It would take a lot of thinking to make the ship-battles right, and to code the dynamics of it would take a long time. Pirates of the Burning Sea has been in development for a long time now, and it is only focusing on just that one feature.
Also, ship-battles is not very popular in the Warhammer series. Though there have been people who set battles to that scenery, they would be following home rules, since Games-Workshop doesn't offer any truly official ones for it.

wrong. ever heard of "Man'o War"?
THe official GW product about naval warfare in the Warhammer world? It is now out of production, true, but the existence of the wh 40k equivalent "Gothica battle fleets" tells me it will resurface in a form or other at sometime.
in addition one of the attendees at the Baltimore Game Day had this to say (from only-war.com)
"So far the only work done has been with the O&G and Dwarfs. They claim to be finishing them first, and then work on the other parts later. The parts they showed us seemed to be mostly done with the texturing, but there were still some big holes, place-holders, and the collision with terrain for somethings was not finished. Looking good, but still a lot of work is needed. The big surprise was the inclusion of Barak Varr and their claim to include 'naval combat' with the Orcs. Claims of it being available on the 360 too."
So, naval combat, in some form, remain a distinct possibility.

Also as a old DAoC player i remember boats(yes we mostly used them for fast travel) but they also had siege engines on them so on occasiions we would have big battles on the sea! They didn't happen all the time cause you needed good drivers but they happended now and then but if Mythic can work out the kinks they could have full-scale sea-battles and even though most battles will be for land what about the elf vs dark elf territorys isn't there a sea inbetween the empire and the elf lands and one between elf and dark elf lands i mean there is plenty of land for that now. Plus boat raiding would be fun also it would be nice cause then guilds could be like pirates and ambush single vessels and loot what they got and stuff it would add a whole new content for combat into the game and would be awesome
