I poked at the older source code I have on hand-
2.96 & 3.3

2.96 doesn't support the # ships arg.
3.3 does.

Therefore, I suspect it was added along with many of the other changes
that were made in the V3 enhancements.

Blind has had it since sometime before Jan of '93, but being 2.90 based,
didn't at least initially have it.
