How many sortie ship girls do you guys have in your fleet? This is somewhat what I'm asking out of curiosity.

Due to the ship lock mechanics of the summer event, there is a high probability that the next events may have one too, which means that having a large fleet may be benetifical in the future. This is partly the reason why I've decided to have 6-8 sortie ready ship girls of each ship type (except SS, and other rare ones such as CLT). Other reasons are that I do like a lot of the ship girls very much, and I want to have them at high level because of my affinity to them. Also, when my ship girls start reaching levels 70 and 80, I feel that they do not need more levels and I want to start leveling the lower leveled ones in their place. Personally, I now have 48 sortie ships (49 once I get Agano, maybe 50 if Amatsukaze ever arrives in my fleet)

However, even with the summer event not being far behind is, I do question the usefulness of a large fleet - I'm at the very least pretty sure that I'll never get to make use of this large fleet of currently 48 ships in any maps outside of event maps. Well, I don't mind training lower leveled ship girls through PvP, so it doesn't matter much though. Do you guys have / aim to have large fleets such as mine?
