Naval movement through open seas

What happens if a navy moves through open seas w/o artifact protection?

My understanding is there is a risk of ships being destroyed by weather,
monsters, or pirates?

do the warships take the hit first?

what seem to be the odds of damage? (ie, 30% risk for each hex, etc?)

I'm not certain of the percentage chances, but even with "Open Seas
Movement", (granted by either a special nation ability or artifact), there
is a chance of being damaged by pirates/monsters. The Open Seas Movement
protection only lets you move through open seas without getting lost.
(Without this protection, you can wind up going in random directions while
you move.)
