How so? It's not like they were throwing them against four D-7s or something. I thought the idea was simply to engage a numerically superior force, and by extension greater firepower than any normal starship with a meat crew would normally deal with. The class of the ship wouldn't be relevant...
A legitimate test along your line of reasoning would pit the Enterprise against ONE Constitution class ship of equivalent cpaability. That would make more sense than the gangbang she actually found herself stuck in.

See, she did ask for it.

Hmm, sorta what i was thinking, only that the enterprise should be able to defeat ships older than her, and therfore mostlikely less advanced, and weaker. It would be a more relevant test of the computer's abilities if the enterprise was sparring off against ships that she could normally only be able to come to a stalemate with. If the computer could defeat the other ships, it would show some "advantage" that the system gives, and hence its usefullness.

Save you seem to be leaving out the 4 to 1 odds sean. It is the odds that make a difference in the case of a weaker set of ships killing off a stronger one. The 4 can lose up to three and remain a fighting force. The one can not lose anything and say the same.

True.... But, thats the purpose of the targetting computer, isn't it? The M5 would even the odds by giving the Enterprise superior weapons targeting capabilities, or what ever else it does. By providing identical ships, if the Enterprise won, it would mostlikely be because of the M5 computer and it's abilities, not because sulu was able to outmaneuver the others, or chekov was able to get in a crack shot. It eliminates most of the variables in the experiment.

Yes, this information comes from Mike Okuda. He e-mailed J�rg about the Starbase registry and the NCC-325 of the Woden.

That's a nice tie-in to the shuttle from the Motion Picture Directors Cut and the low reg of the Woden suggests the design is from the early 23rd Century and the design is NOT Antares-Class. So I guess I won't have to go relabel the ASDB diagrams. Still, I feel the urge to change the nacelles to something akin to Phase II...
