I know of 7 off the top of my head, the three drone ships, the multi-purpose 
recovery ships bob and doug, they got a couple more recently(named for females, 
don't remember the names reliably), all those recovery ships on the east coast, 
so they probably have one or two on the west coast, and I don't think that 
includes the dragon recovery craft.

that was for 25G of bandwidth from the post I saw mentioned, they didn't mention 
the speed (but they did show the difference in video quality from the barges 
between the old and new)
