Quest currently seems to be bugged on live, it is not given after you finish the previous quests. No way to get it so far it seems...Assuming a bug?
Kinda upset I did 5 naval missions with mission completion orders before realizing I didn't have it.
EDIT: Apparently you need to get honored first with hand of the prophet and then complete "I sunk your battleship" before getting the upgrade your fleet quest...Which is stupid because it makes me not want to do naval missions UNTIL honored (which will be tomorrow, but it's stupid)
EDIT #2: Great news everyone! Once you get honored and learn the blueprints from the vendor, turn in the quest and go back to your garrison you do get upgrading your fleet, HOWEVER it counts all naval missions previously completed! 11/15 for me! (all those mission completion orders saved up!)
EDIT #3: Even better news everyone! Apparently it is fixed to where you don't need honored anymore to pick up the quest, or so I was told, have not be able to personally test it.

To be clear this quest upgrades your Shipyard and gives you 2 more slots for ships.

Apparently you need to complete naval missions successfully in order to progress the quest.
Also be warned that any mission with less than 100% probability of success can destroy your ship. I've just lost a blue and an epic ship that way. There was no popup saying it was a dangerous mission that could destroy my ships.
