      You need to find out what it is and where it is first. Then you can make a judgement on the best units you have available to use against it.

      You can use aircraft to locate and scout the fleet's composition, but they will probably take damage from the fleet's Anti-air in the process, unless you use Stealths. You could use submarines, but they will be detected and take damage if there is a destroyer or Naval Officer in the enemy fleet. If you've got cruise missiles and you can locate the fleet on radar without getting into its attack range, then you could hit it like that. You can use more cruisers, or you can swarm it with smaller ships - but you don't know how many you need until you know what the enemy has got.

      There's any number of options, but there's a lot of ifs and buts that go with it. Without knowing what the fleet is, or what you've got available, it's very difficult to give specific advice.
