Who was it and when was it said about the last time there was a mutiny onboard an Earth/Federation ship? I can't remember who, or even which series it was TOS, TNG, or DS9--- is that bad or what?

Anyone with a better memory?

That was probably TOS. They were rather quick to call something 'the first time ever since..'.

I believe (one of) Kirk's trials was also 'the first'.

Under normal circumstances I would agree, but Archer went along on the mission. And that still doesn't explain why he's chillin' in his bunk when numerous boarding parties raid the ship. I just thought his character would play a major part (pardon the pun), rather then one episode and out.

Special Forces work differently then normal units which would generally not risk high ranking officers. Often Captains, Majors, and sometimes even Lt. Colonels in the Special Forces would lead missions.

In "The Tholian Web" it was said that there had never been a mutiny in Starfleet yet later in "Whom God's Destroy" it was stated that Captain Garth's crew had mutinied against him "years ago".

However, they probably wouldn't count Earth Starfleet of Archer's time, just the Federation Starfleet.
