Why didn't the Golden Horde create a Black Sea fleet? Were they Stupid? This meant they had no effective counter-measure against a foreign power taking Caffa.

Do you think the northern coast of the black sea was brimming with oaken forests and large trading cities with skilled shipwrights and armies of laborers?

Kaffa's value was as a trade entrepot, might as well let the people trading there actually run the place and collect some taxes/customs on it
If you build a fleet that keeps the Genoese out, what's the point of owning it?
