Formation Sailing and basic tactics

So then men and women do we have anything in the way of working together as a cohesive team? I've got a few basic ideas from real world naval methods that seam to translate well into the game, but i'm still fairly new at the game so would'nt like to presume anything just yet. Stuff like formation movement, concentration of fire, role designation (main battle line, escort, force multipliers).

HI

All tips are welcome if any 1 have post it
