How would magic interact with late TL5 naval warfare? & Campaign idea

It'd have pretty much the same impact as on any other era of naval history up to that date. Simple spells give you position, Communication keeps you in touch with fleet command, as well as with other ships in a squadron. Long-distance vision spells give a better idea sooner of the nationality of vessels ... never mind the myriad uses of Divination. Create and Purify Water are real game changers for extending the range of vessels, as well as sharply reducing storage needs. Test and Purify Food greatly enhances a crew's diet. Enchanting chase armament with +1 Puissance and Quick Aim?

And all that was stream of thought that took me little more time to think of than it took me to type it.
