You don't necessarily need a Navy to take Sevastopol if your land forces are well within range. They can hit Sevastopol with Storm Shadow and HIMARS once they start making land gains and bring those weapon systems within range of Russian ships and their supply hub. Ukraine already took out the Russian flagship there (the Moskva) with anti-ship missile strikes--likely a Neptune missile (or something similar) fired from land.
A navy would be useful as a platform for missile strikes from yet another direction, not necessarily to just take Sevastopol The Poles recently delivered 14 MIG 29's to pair with the Storm Shadows so in theory UKR could hit Sevastopol now.
