You gotta beat 'em down with ranged units first, and swoop in once they've been beaten down to zero or near zero health. I don't do this until I have privateers, and I give them the promotion that gives bonuses to attacking cities.
Well, the mechanics must have changed because it simply doesn't work in the vanilla version. I do exactly what you say to do and when I try to move my ship in it doesn't do shit.
This would confirm what I'm saying: http://forums.2k.com/showthread.php?1660...s-by-water
Funnily enough though, it says subs are the only melee ships in the vanilla game. I'm not sure whether that's right either because I distinctly remember them not being able to attack cities in the one game I played.
No 'melee' naval combat in vanilla at all according to the wiki: http://civilization.wikia.com/wiki/Naval_combat_(Civ5)
