[QUOTE]Originally posted by The_Tom: [QB] *tries to resist the urge to fire back, setting this off again* *can't* I won't even bother arguing w/Frank on this topic, since we've all come to identify arguing with him about this (and the [i]Defiant[/i]'s length, too) is about as useful as trying to tell Omega that guns are bad and that the Earth is populated with life that arose billions of years ago. [IMG]http://flare.solareclipse.net/wink.gif[/IMG] Instead, I'll direct my comments to the other poor souls who may yet be saved, unlike Mr. Gerratana here. [Shades of Milton's [i]Paradise Lost[/i], anyone?] ..."unofficially" is the keyword, everybody. <u>That literally means that Starfleet doesn't have an official classification called "warship".</u> (I'd go so far as to say Frank would agree with me here). To go further, I have to point out that in that scene from The Search, you will note that Sisko places special emphasis on the fact that Starfleet is squeemish about having "warships." That line plays, or at least IMHO, as "Starfleet has tried to slot this ship into a category that it hardly qualifies to be in, so just between us, let's think of it as a warship." [/QB][/QUOTE]
