I see your point. Perhaps we can somehow lay a
foundation for Ar-Pharazon having emptied the land of
warships. Gorthaur requests ships to be sent to look
for the dragon, but between the storm and the King's
fleet only a few ships can be sent.

So, Gorthaur's ships could not be warships. Since all of those have gone to the West. But ships manned, nonetheless, by fighting men loyal to Gorthaur. Would they be capturing any of you? Are you and the hobbrim going to somehow sink and kill the one(s) you encounter? If they get word back to Gorthaur (and I'm sure He would be in communication with them through osanwë) will we have a larger force to deal with at the caves?

would be lightly manned, transport rather than ships
of war...

I am assuming this means the guards at the caverns will be able to fend us off for quite a while - they being the small force, against us the larger? Their advantage could increase if Gorthaur has at the last moment found out about the hobbit prisoners and sends has the guard increased against us.
Also, Pio must have a Telerin Elf aboard every vessel that does not have one of the companions with whom she's linked before. Otherwise, that unlinked ship will be dead in the water to her.
