Editing List of ships required by quests and expeditions

These are the total numbers of ships required to complete every quest in the game by type. Note that some quests require a subset of all the ships they specify; for example, [[Quests#A50|A50]] requires that you have five of the six total ships specified in your fleet. With careful planning, this behavior can be utilized to reduce the total number of ships required by keeping the ones needed for the highest amount of quests; the optimial value and the suboptimal value are included below. Remodels are '''not''' counted as a new ship, as they do not take another ship slot in the game.

The minimum number of ships required by type:

* Battleships (BB): 10

* Light Carriers (CVL): 5

* Heavy Cruisers & Aviation Cruisers (CA(V)): 16

* Light Cruisers (CL(T)): 17

* Destroyers (DD): 58

<b>117</b> ships are required in total (effectively the total number can be smaller, since you don't need to keep all of them before/after you have access to or have finished associated quests). This number does not take into account wildcard ships needed to fill out fleets for quests.

'''Note: Unless otherwise specified, higher remodels of a ship can be used in place of previous remodels to fulfill quest requirements.'''
