I think it may be a while before FFG tries adding navies. Battlemist, Runewar's grandfather, had a somewhat unsuccessful expansion with Battlemist: The Sails of War.I believe part of the problem may be that adding ships means a greater degree of geographic separation and a slower 'build up' to conflict. There's nothing wrong with this if that's what the players are looking for, but it could change the dynamics of the game into something that bore a stronger resemblance to Twilight Imperium (third edition).
As to a female race, I'd be interested to see one, and I know my wife would certainly approve! I just hope that if Fantasy Flight follows up on the suggestion, they find a really original way to do it.
In the mean time, at least the Uthuk and the Elves have both genders among their units!
