[QUOTE]Originally posted by Futurama Guy: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Phoenix: [qb] [QUOTE]Originally posted by MinutiaeMan: [qb]The funniest part about that is that in "Descent," when Admiral Nechayev rushed out to take command of the task force that was preparing for the Borg, she chose the USS [i]Gorkon[/i] -- a measly old [i]Excelsior[/i]-class starship -- as her FLAGSHIP, rather than transferring her FLAG to the Enterprise, which was already the FLAGSHIP of the Federation! ;) Of course, again they didn't want any guest characters to upstage Jean-Luc. [/qb][/QUOTE]That reminds me. Why do Admirals always choose rubbish ships as their flagships? The only occasion I can think of where an Admiral chooses a decent ship is the DS9 episode where it is implied that the Galaxy Class USS Venture is Admiral Hastur's flagship (although I don't think it is actually stated). [/QUOTE]Admiral Ross had the Bellerephon as well. As for "Admirals and Excelsiors" it seems that by that time Excelsiors were probably a dime a dozen so rather than scrapping the ships they pass a few around to some more elite or high ranking admirals as their personal transportation. From what we have seen, most admirals are restricted or seem to be limited to some sort of starbase duty so perhaps depending on the importance of the area (i.e. near the DMZ or Neutral Zone) an Admiral with a starship at his/her disposal as rugged as the Excelsior might be more of a positive than a negative. This is expecially true if their only alternative is scooting around in a runabout or shuttlecraft. [/QB][/QUOTE]
