Rewatched the ep yesterday. 9:13, seven capital ships; I concede that point. I'm gonna go w/ the headcanon that Ironwood originally came to Vale w/ 3, and those other 4 arrived fairly recently.

However, as Jason Zombolt said immediately after you, due to the size of the city as well as all the chaos and confusion, Roman still has the element of surprise, and the remaining Atlesian cruisers/carriers/whatever-we-end-up-agreeing-on-calling-them won't know there's a rogue ship until it's already shooting them down. And as I've been saying, those Atlesian cruisers/carriers/whatever are probably the only things w/ the firepower to easily kill multiple multi-story-tall Goliaths that can probably level vast swathes of Vale just by stampeding through like elephants are wont to do. Not good.
