Grandest Fleet (1): Develop just your basic Fleet and keep pumping them out. A six to eight battleship force can be devastating even against super-ships. (2): Grow your economy to eventually construct super-ships. These ships are both powerful and interesting to use. If you can get your base economy to the point of building super-ships in your ports, you'll be tough to beat. (3): Get your cities up in size. This will do several things to take you to victory. As the cities' size gets beyond certin levels of growth they will increase in victory point value. This can be significant. Larger cities also creat more tech and resource points per turn, and when those cities are very large it is pretty tough to bomb them down in size. Carrier planes and bombers will take many more casualties when attacking large cities. (4): Go into a full city-economy development. This includes; Universities, hospitals, downtowns, citysize, convoys, forts...etc. This gives you many extra victory points per turn, unbeatable defensive position, and overall strength. Many games can be won with this approach. (5): A combination of the above. The options are limitless. With all this, The Grandest Fleet plays as a very in-depth game. I hope these hints help you to become The Perfect Fleet Commander!
