The ultimate classic strategy game: Civilization 2 !
I still play it! Simple graphics but unbeatable gameplay.
The naval units in its 'modern' era are nicely balanced and can be played infinitely:
Battleship = most powerful unit in direct combat, but becomes somewhat obsolete as cruise missiles are introduced
AEGIS Cruiser = not as strong as a battleship, but very resistant to aircraft and missile attacks.
Submarine = invisible 'glass cannon'. You'll sink most naval units if you attack first, but they'll usually sink you if they see you/attack you first. Subs are also able to carry cruise and nuclear missiles.
There's also: aircraft carrier, transport ships, Cruiser, and Destroyer, etc. units.
Awesome game.
