correct way to create a floatilla with a battleship

Could you explain more what you are asking about?

To disembark/embark quicker build local ports in then province you are embarking/disembarking on, if you’re operating off of a city just build a naval base.

Two questions in one from what I can see.

The best flotilla consists of a mixture of all three ships.

You can do 3 + 3 + 4 in any combination you like.

I prefer 4 Battleships, 3 Cruisers, and 3 Destroyers.

As for embarkation and disembarkation, it is definitely faster from port to port, especially if both ports are level 3.

Could you be a little bit more specific?

When you say stacks of four, what do you mean? One of each?

Your topic and your text, omg. I can't resist.

Protect your transports with flotilla by finding the nearest point to the coast/port (high lvl). If time and money is no problem I like 5 BB, 3 CA and 2 DD (high-lvl).

The more a fleet is concentrated, the less vulnerable it is (when using mixed ships types). Of course concentrating it means it is hard to detect enemies and exert your power, so there's your trade-off as well.

I always put a destroyer in a flotilla with a Battleship since battleships are vulnerable to submarines.

Another thing you can do is focus on what your enemy is mainly using, In one of my games my enemy never used naval bombers, and had many destroyers + submarines. To counter this I made my fleets consist mainly of battleships and destroyers, I still put a few cruisers just in case. It makes no sense going for say a mainly destroyer fleet when your opponent spams battleships.

That’s why you use cruisers

Well in one game, the fleet of one of my allies got annihilated by a nuclear bomber

Max transport research, then spam a bunch of level 1 militia or AA guns, then join them to your naval stacks for cheap HP. A level 4 transport has 25 HP, so 3 of those is like 1 level 3 battleship. Except at a fraction of the cost. They don't fight, but they absorb damage, and as a bonus you can unleash them on the enemy continent after you break through.
