You can do it with any amount, basically depends on method and positioning the ship.

Before jumping on the wheel after the soldiers, relax, let people get set on cannons, and the ammo they want charged to the cannon before entering the cutscene. Get frigates with the amount of gunners you have quickly as possible, forts will fire immediately after they sink.
Take cover does help.
First method using take cover working each set of forts letting take cover recharge. There is no timer period to rush through the quest. Also let take cover recharge before entering the last cut screen, just in case you need it. Fury is better than lightning, since you can shoot off three shots quickly before a recharge. If you don't have 5 points in fury, than maybe use lightning.

Second method with good cannons, you can hit ramming speed, to jump up to speed and than full sail through all the forts.

Both methods I would let things recharge before entering the last cutscene. Easiest method is to charge out away from Goliath and than blast it out of its reach, and about only way to do it solo.
