I understand from reading the rulebook that when you win a naval battle your ships are healed by the amount of ships the loser lost when fleeing. My question is what are the "prizes"? Initially I thought those ships were added to your fleet, but I have since noticed this to not be the case. So what exactly is the "prize" of capturing "prizes"?

the prize is the amount of ship that you won to healed you fleet.
Lost ship doesn´t heals to you fleet, is the amount of ship sunk.
