It may be easy, but it wouldn't result in the ships all arriving at the same time. They would arrive during the same turn, but not at the same time. You would end up with ships not attacking in a coordinated manner.
I tried that once to coordinate attacks with an ally against a third empire. You can give the "attack" order and point to yoru allies ship. Any time your ally moves, your ship will follow. But only afterwards, and the attacks don't happen at the same time. If your ally and the enemy both have ships remaining after the initial combat though, your ships will arrive for round two.
