Using Homer as the source the number of ships comes to 1196 (ILYAD: Book 2: The Great Gathering of Armies 590-850)

they are as follows: grouped by numbers

Boeotians - 50, Euboeans - 50

Minyas - 30, phocaeans - 40, Pheddipus and Antiphus - 30

Athens - 50, Achilles - 50

Agamemnon - 100

Menelaus - 60, Buprasium and Elis - 40

Arcadians - 60, Meges - 40

Argos - 80, Thoas - 40

Idomeneus - 80

Locrians - 40, Nestor - 90

Podarces - 40, Tricca - 30

Polypoetes - 40, Prothous - 40, Guneus - 22

Ajax - 12, Odysseus - 12, Rhodes - 9, Nireus - 3, Eurypylus - 40, Eumelas - 11

and finally Philoctetes with 7 ships

You will note there is 10 lines with 1000 ships then 1 line with 102 ships and the final grouping has 94 ships for a total of 1196
