I have to say, Starky, that Rush song sounds like they're plagiarising Dylan Thomas' Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night. . .

The Defiant's "Tall Ship" seems absurd for the flattest vessel in Starfleet.

The quote I used for the Crusader also gave it the registry number - "Cry Havoc, and let slip the dogs of war" comes from Act III, Scene I, line 273 of Julius Caesar - the ship was NX-31273. . . 8)

Starky? Stark will do nicely thanks.

I'm afraid I must have missed that song. However if I get a chance to listen to it I will. I am a big Rush fan and I've been looking for the title to the song I quoted above. I believe its a line from the corus from "Red Tide" from the album Presto.
