[QUOTE]Originally posted by Timo: [QB] One thing we should consider about this list: none of the starships is listed as losing more than 21 crew. Now, we know canonically that some transports or supply ships have crews of just a couple of dozen, so theoretically at least USS Cochrane (assuming she is the same Oberth we saw in "Emissary") might have been lost with all hands. But the other ships aren't of known transport types (the Wyoming is a possible transport of Istanbul class, IIRC, but the Constantinople of that class had thousands of people aboard in "The Schizoid Man" so the crew was probably larger than just six). The Zapata is another borderline case. We don't know what type of ship she is, so a crew of no more than 21 is a possibility. But the other ships are supposedly of known types, and these types are relatively large combat vessels, implying hundreds of crew. So apparently none of these other ships was actually destroyed, since only a very small fraction of their crew was declared KIA or MIA, and almost all had WIAs to indicate survivors. Or could there have been a bias to the chart? Perhaps the ships were lost with nearly all hands, but DS9 only received the names relevant to the people serving aboard that station. But who would make the judgement on a thing like that? Timo Saloniemi [/QB][/QUOTE]
