How many Apollo missions took off after Apollo 13?

Apollo 14 landed at the site originally planned for Apollo 13. Apollo 15, 16 and 17 also landed on the Moon. Three crews flew to the Skylab space station using Apollo spacecraft, but they were named Skylab missions. The final mission, which used Apollo hardware but not go to the moon, flew as one of the two spacecraft that linked up in orbit with a Soviet crew in the Apollo-Soyuz Test Project. This was the first manned international space mission. I saw that Apollo spacecraft launched from the Kennedy Space Center. This was the last American manned spaceflight until the Space Shuttle almost 6 years later.
