I almost always avoid building Navies. I just don't need a Navy.
Exception #1) I build 2 galleys if I need to try and find other civs off the main continent. (This is my entire Navy for most games)
Exception #2) If I need to invade I'll build a quick Navy from scratch. (a few transports and cover ships).
I think that corruption has killed the Navy. Islands are so corrupt they are useless, so why bother taken them unless enemies are making their bombing runs from them. Also, they AI cannot launch a credible overseas attack. I let them land and kill them all without much effort. The AI is very good at sinking my ships, so I find that it is much easier to build land units instead and let them land.
