In order to get this research, need r6 base leadership, 600 points of research necessary at a rate of 50 points for formidable enemy victory.

I haven't done this yet so I don't know if it means 50 points for EACH formidable enemy defeated or 50 points for each formidable fleet win. I believe it would be the latter, so it can mean at least 3 BRs need to be done. 4 x FE per BR, need to win 12 times to complete the research. Can someone who has done this research confirm?

According to research:

50 points are granted per Formidable fleet defeated which = 3 BRs in total to complete this thesis, with x4 FE beaten during each BR. The number of FEs beaten doesn't matter; whether you sink just the admiral or all other ships first followed by admiral, you only get 50 points for it.
