well sea ponies are a thing now. Time to go spearfishing boys and girls.

Or start making airships and a whole bunch of cannon ships. It's finally time to navy focus boys and girls.

cannon ships or airships won't help against seaponies because they have siren powers. That means they can take the ships' crew and airships can't fly that high or they risk their crews.
Well, Siren powers are easy enough to fix. Just seal up your ears with wax. Problem solved.
Nah, end goal should be something like Castle Wulfenbach from the Girl Genius webcomic.

I'm pretty sure an airships can get higher then a siren can reach.

then they use their normal water powers to kill them anyways.

Airship noise should block them out too

Then we invent Greek fire and set the sea itself aflame.

Not without risking the crews and sirens songs can travel and ensnare far beyond regular hearing range.
You know Sirens were originally depicted as Harpies, right?

We have greek fire it is our super useful and multipurpose problem-solving tool.

How does an airship going into the air risk the crew?

This sounds like a problem for...somebody else!
Seriously. The Gryphus Empire isn't a naval power. Our only naval investment was as a reaction to Mcbadguy Gryphon; we've got a developing nation, a newly settled frontier, and a bunch of directions we haven't explored in, and the Neighponese have already stated they'd prefer to be a naval power. Ask Koryu how we can help their efforts, while we build our stuff better.

Oxygen sickness, low levels to actually breath, and rapid changes to altitude without pressurization is harmful both the longer you stay up and at the speed you ascend and descend, just because we are flying creatures doesn't mean we don't suffer from those same issues.

Meh, there's no need for us to bother. Let's just finish up our airships and switch to a smoother, safer method of trade. Whatever bastards are raiding us can just flounder in the water for a bit. If they want us, they're going to have to come and get us, not just sit pretty and wait for us to come them where they are strongest.

SIrens in MLP are literally powered by negative emotions right? We have access to something built to counter such beings, why not see if we can make something to ward them off or depower them? Even limited-use versions of the crystal heart could probably deal with them. And it's no like there's a shortage of such threats, might as well get started now.

Siren songs can ensnare people far beyond normal hearing range. So unless we are flying miles up which we can't do for the reasons listed above we are still in danger if it is the seaponies.
