Can land conquest defeat a superior navy?

Was Alexander's strategy of beating a superior navy by conquering its bases repeated successfully?

Land conquest can destroy or immobilize naval forces, but it is not a clear repeatable method for defeating a genuinely superior navy.

Naval forces can be crippled when their bases are captured or besieged, as Baltic basing problems illustrate. Whether this method alone defeats a superior sea power is more doubtful, since a stronger opposing fleet is generally still present in the wider contest.
