1: heavily armed and equipped battleships would make for a much easier faster and effective means of transport not to mention that passing through a mountain range is near impossible with a large army and grants the defender a far superior tactical advantage. 2: Sailing in a straight line formation would drastically decrease the firepower of the ships and the speed in which their men could land, and with no price knowledge of high speed aircraft the path of speed over precaution is far deadlier 3: beaching a ship designed for reap water is impossible to do in a safe manner do to their keels which extend near the same depth as the ship extends toward the sky.
