The navy retreated a few minutes after the Raging Tide Sword Saint conceded defeat.
They had no choice. If they kept fighting, the navy's remaining two and a half Quasi-Legendary Battleships would all be lost here.
Against peak fourth-tier combatants like Pearl and Kyle, they could send several fourth-tier classholders to keep them occupied, but that approach was utterly useless against a Legendary Battleship.
