3 - Since you are using KC3, you should be able to export a graphic of the historical ships for Winter 2018, whether you have them and their level (it's one of the buttons in the Showcase Tab). While having historical ships may not necessary for Easy with regards to routing, they should make things easier due to preferencial routing and damage boosts.
