Well you're not talking to the right people. Preds specifically, but the number is a few years old and may have been diluted by recent fleet growth.
IIRC, they'd lost about 65 preds, which was close to half the fleet a few years ago.
I'm not going to do the research for you, but I'm sure you can find the numbers open source if you look hard enough. Or go ask on the military forum, enough folks over there should know.
