In what way are Naval Enhancement characters affected by stealth? The Foxes Teeth?

It is my assumption that because tehy cannot be 'declared' as defenders in these cases, that whether or not it is in the framework doesn't matter.

Declaring naval attackers/defenders is still declaring attackers/defenders for all purposes. Therefore stealthing a naval enhanced character will keep them from being declared as a naval defender.

However, Naval Enhanced characters can be declared as Defenders BEFORE the Stealth Framework starts. So, in essence, if you want to use a Naval Character (like, say a 7 STR Fleet) then you can declare that defender before the attacker has an opportunity to declare stealth.

Bomb and doulos2k are correct that while stealth prevents you from using the Naval mechanic to declare defenders, Naval can get around the stealth limitation through smart use of timing.

On the other hand, when Fox's Teeth is attacking, only kneeling characters can be declared as defenders. And, as the FAQ says, since Fox's Teeth's effect saying that kneeling characters can be declared as defenders doesn't specifically reference the Naval mechanic, it doesn't change the fact that you have to kneel the character in order to declare it using the Naval mechanic.

So unlike Stealth, there is no trick of timing and an attacking Fox's Teeth completely shuts down the Naval mechanic for defense.
