When an enemy fleet is next to you, some ships are sunk.
A ring may help but it may be through like the left attachment. The right attachment shows that it is a chicken move. Ships are damaged but may not sink.

Should there be a better way to defend my fleet?

That is a cheesy maneuver. Don't do it in PBEM games or people will abandon the game.

Sure. Change the range to 2 solves the cheesy way.
