We have some small examples of naval battles:


 * Roger Pirates VS Shiki Pirate Armada


 * Kid Pirates VS Big Mom's ships


 * Minor battles between Marines and StrawHats

I suppose we don't have major naval battles  because of a very specific difference between OP pirates and the common pirates we knew: Devil Fruits

The strongest of the pirates wouldn't like to confront their opponents in the open sea, cause they have disadvantage there.This explains a lot I feel.

I can only see naval battles as a sensible strategy of Shanks or Rohushiki users, tho.
