Naval Units avoiding battle

[eddiem4145]

When I enter a sea zone with my capital warships, and the sea zone is occupied by other enemy capital warships, do I have to conduct one round of battle, or

can I just stop my movement, then if on the enemy’s turn they do not attack me, on my turn again I get to keep moving, essentially, the enemy does not stop my movement, they only slow me down.

[Krieghund]

You are never required to attack in a sea zone unless you are launching an amphibious assault or amphibious reinforcement from it.

[eddiem4145]

So naval units only block my movement for one round, is that correct. I move into the sea zone, if they don’t attack me, the next turn I can keep going, exercising my full movement.

[Krieghund]

Yes.  (Subs and/or transports alone don’t block movement at all.)

Thanks for answering, Kreighund! These rules are a big departure from the other A&A games.
