It never says so in original Tolkien, but it also never speaks a word about an "8th dwarven clan", Mithril under the Harad Mountains (in fact, the opposite is stated!), or half the lore you came up with. I cannot state a passage saying "Umbar has the best navy", but it can be gleaned from the text that their navy was pretty damn powerful. In our wiki lore it is so, however.
