In regards to the Redridge Fleet, as I pointed out, it makes no logistical sense.

Let's assume for a moment that the Redridge Fleet does have enough soldiers to man that many ships (which as we've already shown, is more than the entire Stormwind Navy according to Varian himself) why would they be a primary ground force? A fleet that large would be wasted on ground deployments. They would be used for major naval battles, not ground deployments.

On the other hand, let's assume that the fleet doesn't have enough men to cover that many ships. Why have so many? If you only have enough sailors to fully man 13-20 ships, why have 300+ floating in the water or sitting on a drydock? Again it comes down to logistical waste. All that wood and metal used to build those ships is wasted, because the ships are either floating in the harbor unmanned, or they're sitting in a drydock.

Regardless, having more ships than the entire Stormwind Navy is a bit of a stretch.
